The first movement consists of 11 primary strings. These are the fundamental constants that define the physical "hardware" of the universe. In this layer, we find the first absolute alignment point of the score.

The Euler-Mascheroni constant (48.00) is the only value in the first movement that is perfectly smooth in Base 12 (04:00). As the bridge between discrete sums and the continuous logarithm, it functions as the "tuning string" of the hardware layer.
