OR the slaves project a world..............

Perhaps too obvious for my comment but ...delete then:

in a room under the room where the real sky is visible,
a black velvet room Foppl has a planetarium..........
with pulleys and chains and lifts and stuff....reminding
me, at least of the larger pulleys and chains and stuff in the 
wreckage of The Crystal Palace.......................

a planetarium ["a parody of space, after all"] run by TREADMILL(!)...........an 
almost literal
image for industrial revolution 'work'; by exploited labor....
