Our harmonic level, ⚚♁, is where the theory's numbers must meet. The Zinf carried up our level's doublings gives our Planck time, ①⥂⧗♁ = ℨ × 2^⚚♁ × f^⚚♁; the age, the horizon and the mass of our universe must each read the same level off the sky; and each level gives back one length for ℨ in seconds. Only routes that could disagree are counted. The account in the book is Part 1.16.
| Route | Formula | ⚚♁ | ℨ in seconds |

With charge held fixed, electromagnetism and gravity are both set by the level: α(⚚) = α♁ × (2f)^(2·(⚚♁ − ⚚)) and α_G(⚚) = (14.3 / 2^(⚚/3))². Atoms need α < 1; stars need α_G < α. See Part 1.16, One Dial.
Today's age, 13.8 Gyr, is not a route: it gives the universe's pulse count, , which grows with every pulse, while the level was fixed when our well formed. The mass route needs the mass our forming well carried into us, which the book has not yet fixed; the default is the ordinary matter of the observable universe, as an illustration.
