CH4 · 2 unique constituents
The reading interpretive · art
The simplest hydrocarbon: one carbon ringed by four hydrogens. Swamp gas, cooking gas, and a molecule drifting in the atmospheres of the outer planets — the same tetrahedron at every scale.
Constituents real composition
The chord interactive art
In the instrument, methane is hearable: one root note per unique constituent — C + H — played together, each root read from the frozen Frequency Bridge.
octave-reduced art over real atomic numbers — a reading, not a claim.
An interpretive reading. The composition above is the real textbook chemistry, cited as science; the chord and seat layers are contemplative art — interpretive readings, not literal claims. Testimony, not prediction.
