So how did it begin?
That seems to be the major flaw in this movie. How did all the events get started? The Hector we meet at the beginning of the movie has to be at least Hector 2, but how did the first one find the machine?

You have to embrace timelessness to be comfortable about the "whence it began."
Since our brains have trouble with timelessness, we can trust in logical function that can be proven.
Proof #1:
None of this happens unless the time machine works.
Proof #2:
Scientist turns on time machine.
Conclusion:
It begins precisely the moment the time machine is turned on and works as planned.
...
Since time is an illusion, consider this:
No time travel can occur until time travel occurs, but once it has occurred -- it always occurred; yes, even before it appears to have occurred. Omni-directional time; freed of our linear acceptance of time.
In the multi-verse / many worlds interpretation, the traveler isn't traveling thru time, per se. Instead, the temporal fold allows the traveler to skip to a neighboring timeline(branch) that lags ours. The Hector 1 we see open this films simply lags the other two hectors.
We think our Now is special; it is not. However, it is apparently the only Now we have. For the time being.
Enjoy these words, for one day they'll be gone... All of them.
