I don't think we could do it with order specified. They need to go in order.

Two frames -- well, there's no order issue there, right, because you can
always either play it backward or forward. What if we made it such that if
there are no atoms DISPLAYED in a frame, it skips the frame? It seems to me
then you could at least construct a linear sequence of selected frames.

a good suggestion.
