Sounds like what is being described is some kind of sound masking
process based on noise generating processes whose clusters are non

Although we're getting first person impressions of Pointsman's dream,
they are being filtered though what I would assume is Pynchon's 70s era
knowledge of white and other colored noise phenomena.
Or something like that.
