From 44e1826fcb817ea96c9454cf3c58cee83907cf6d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dejvino Date: Thu, 6 Aug 2026 00:14:20 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Six more visualizers, built through the scaffolder MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Seven per family now, 42 scenes. Each one exists because of the second line of its header comment — what makes it different from the scenes it sits beside — since "no two scenes render the same image" is a gate with a numeric floor: Smoke Column (flow) a plume with a source, a body and a dissipating head. Everything moves one way and widens; an isotropic field has no up. Cell Divide (organic) a partition, not objects. Every pixel belongs to a cell, boundaries are hard, no background. Eclipse Field (minimal) the occluder nearly fills the frame and is not the subject — the corona around it is. The library's one high-contrast minimal scene. Girder Lattice (structural) the only scene whose subject is ABOVE the camera; perspective converges downward. Quasicrystal (geometric) five plane waves at incommensurate angles, so the pattern has local symmetry and no tile, no cell and no centre. Time Smear (glitch) nothing is displaced. Each band shows the same image at a different age — a slit-scan built from one feedback buffer by giving each band its own persistence. The scaffolder produced six skeletons that passed lint and every gate before a line of shader was written, and all six passed their per-scene gate first time once written. That is what it was for. Two real faults, both found by gates rather than by eye: Cell Divide coloured each pixel by its nearest seed, and exactly on a tie which seed is nearest comes down to the last bit of a distance. Two renders disagreed by a whole palette step: 6/255 against a ceiling of 1, and it also broke Phase 6's preview/export parity because that look casts it. Blending the nearest tint with the runner-up across the membrane makes the two answers agree in the limit — and reads better, as membranes rather than cuts. The lint's own "prev() with no base image" rule fired on a scene whose comment explained why it does NOT rely on prev(). Rules that ask "does the code do X" now run against a comment-stripped copy; the fixed-cost opt-out still reads the original, since it is a comment. Phase 6's parity tolerance goes from 1/255 to 2. Measured in order: unprimed, the first pass differed on frames 0/2/3 — fixed earlier by priming. Primed and isolated: 0/40 at delta 0, three times over. Primed, range-warmed and run at the end of the full suite: three frames at delta 2. The warm-up stays because it is correct, but the residue is GPU load, not logic, and it is the same 1-2/255 Phases 5 and 7 already account for. A real divergence scores in the tens.
