# Retro-Sync: Hurrian Hymn h.6 — 71-Shard NFT Collection
The world's oldest surviving notated music (~1400 BC, Ugarit) encoded as a
multi-layered NFT collection with ZK proofs and steganographic embedding.
## Collection
**71 DA51 CBOR shards** — one for each integer 1..71 (the crown prime).
20 generator shards (primes ≤ 71) carry the SSP interval structure.
51 derived shards (composites) carry content determined by prime factorization.
| Layer | Content | Format |
|-------|---------|--------|
| Source | Babylonian notation, interval mapping | text |
| Notation | LilyPond score (West 1994) | .ly |
| Artifacts | MIDI, PDF score, WAV audio | base64 in CBOR |
| Witnesses | Compilation chain (5 steps) | JSON |
| Eigenspace | Earth/Spoke/Hub decomposition | numeric |
| Metadata | Tablet, scribe, tuning, deity | structured |
| References | Wikipedia, scholarly, LilyPond docs | URLs |
| YouTube | Private audio comparison sources | URLs |
| Pipeline | SOP, erdfa CFT, boustrophedon, Cl(15) | text |
| ZK Proof | Groth16/BN254, MiMC Merkle tree | JSON |

## Decoding
Each shard is a DA51-tagged CBOR envelope:
- Bytes 0-1: `0xDA 0x51` (magic)
- Bytes 2-9: SHA-256 prefix (CID stub)
- Bytes 10+: CBOR payload
```python
import cbor2, json
with open("nft71/02.cbor", "rb") as f:
raw = f.read()
magic = raw[:2] # b'\xda\x51'
cid = raw[2:10].hex()
payload = cbor2.loads(raw[10:])
print(json.dumps(payload, indent=2))
```
## ZK Verification
The Groth16 proof verifies:
1. Prover knows all 71 shard hashes
2. All form a valid MiMC Merkle tree
3. Eigenspace commitment matches (100% Earth)
4. Crown shard (p71) is unique
