3.	The spatiality of layering and the multiple framed "pop-in" windows as well as being non-filmic are also linked to certain practices associated with reading comics. They have parallels in how comic readers receive the imagery, which is at both modular (specific panels) and global levels (the whole page). In comics, the mental act of decoding the graphic language often utilises multidirectional reading patterns. An important link, worth future investigation, can be seen between the comic's panel edge/border/ threshold and how framed windows, or in Deviant case, the different overlapping layers can be understood as individual but global compositions.

	14.	Communication is "transparent" to the participants when nothing is intended to distract from the sender's communicative goal. It is suggested that this model has an ability to manipulate the receiver, in that mass communication becomes a primary process of reality construction and maintenance. In such a situation, positions of inequality, dominance and subservience can be produced and reproduced in society whilst at the same time made to appear "natural". This acceptance and reproduction of the transmitted reading happens passively -- without the participant being consciously aware of the exchange.
