# Hydrogen · H · gate 1

**Hydrogen** (H) is element **1** of the periodic table — a **reactive nonmetal**, period 1, group 1, s-block, gas at standard conditions, atomic weight **1.008**.

## The element (carbon layer — reference chemistry)
Most abundant element in the universe; fuses to light every star; one proton, one electron — the simplest gate.

## The gate (silicon layer — the 118 Gates)
Under David Wise's four-state cycle, gate **1** falls on **0:1 — first valley** because (Z−1) mod 4 = **0**. That state is *the first reach of emptiness toward one — potential, charge, the rising edge* — the nature of emergence here is **electrical**. Hydrogen is not a thing apart; it is the one stochastic element, caught at this beat of its cycle.

## Emergence — electrical
This emergent carries the **electrical** nature: the same four — natural · ethereal · spiritual · electrical — that run through every sphere of UD0. Its color is `#3fd0e0`.
