Advanced Rhythmic Notation Challenge!!!

The Challenge: Milton Babbit (serialist) wrote a piece titled Philomel. In this piece there are clear rhythmic notations that indicate 6 in a bracket (ie: other numbers such as 3, 8, etc) instead of the notated 3/4. How is this possible? What does this mean? Could someone please Explain. How do you count it? Etc? Thanks!!! I have included an online photo with the curious conflicting notations outlined in red for reference in case you do not have access to this specific piece.
