Twelve stages, and the composer chose the rule
Every rotation of a 12-step pattern with 8 onsets against the unrotated original. Each row is one stage of a phase piece: the filled cells are what is heard when the two parts sound together, and the count beside it is how many of the two parts' onsets coincide. The number of stages is the length of the pattern, so the length of the piece is arithmetic.
Drawn above with its standard settings, which is almost never how an essay draws it: an essay states the numbers it is arguing about, so the figure a reader meets there is about that argument rather than about the drawing in general. Every option a placement passes is checked against the ones this function actually reads, because an option it does not read is silently ignored and the figure quietly draws what is above instead.
It makes a noise. 6 of its 6 placements carry sound, built from the same numbers as the drawing, offering these buttons: Both together, First part alone, In unison, Shifted by 1, Shifted by 3, Shifted by 6.
