I think Queneau begins with the variation "Notation" because it is the most straightforward of the variations. It explains the basic story in the proper order from an outside character's unbiased point of view. It is the first exposure the reader gets to the basic story, and gives the reader a good idea of the basic story before changing it around too much.
