Interesting that Daemone is plural given that the intent of Liber Samekh is to yoke the totality of the individual to the "Higher Genius/Angel" which is usually considered a unity (Yichud). Fascinating idea in light of the "One/Many" Paradox of the divine vis the Kabballah Each Sephiroth a divinity/divine aspect, but ultimately unity under the canopy of "The One."
Interesting also in light of Crowley's emphasize on "structuralizatoin" of conscioussness via Kabbalistic Ritual and Yoga/meditation practice in the effort to overcome disspersion and fragmentation of the self often assigned to the notion of "Chronozzon."

I can't think of any explicit references, but I would note that "Daemone" is plural, in this instance. Also, the same roots for "pandemonium."
Interesting work could easily be done on the etymology.
