Applies rulings habitat-trophic-dag and voronoi-primitive and the operator's correction that CultMath owns shader/C# parity. The target's Placement law becomes a layered, donor-controlled DAG (environment, the Skein, producers, grazers, predators and ambushers) with pointwise and stencil operators only, nodes in CultMath and compositions in Aetheria; invariants trophic-dag-acyclic, -pointwise, trophic-nodes-in-cultmath and skein-gate-continuous are added. The map gains r4 body facts B28-B36 (CultMath's node and parity surface, the tape, the probe), decisions, two questions and the r4 cut sequence. The probe renders filament candidates and trophic layers on the orbiting B20 zone and measures popping and turnover. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Trophic DAG probe (2026-10-14)
Serves rulings aetheria-fauna:ruling:habitat-trophic-dag and :voronoi-primitive, and the questions
aetheria-fauna:question:skein-filament-construction and :trophic-graph-tape. Facts are map rows B28-B36 in
docs/aetheria-fauna-map.md; prior art is docs/research/2026-10-14-trophic-dag-filaments-prior-art.md (TD:<line>).
trophic_probe.py imports habitat_probe.py (the float64 transliteration of Zone.GetHeight/GetNormal and
FlowField, in ../2026-10-14-fauna-habitat-probe/) and adds what that probe lacked: the wells orbit, as
Zone.GetOrbitPosition moves them (period = distance in seconds, Settings.asset OrbitPeriod exponent 1,
multiplier 1; about 6.3 u/s for every planet). The flow's slope terms are on (swirl 6, slide 1.5, as B25g). Its hash
is the probe's own integer hash, not CultMath pcg3d; images are qualitative evidence for a C# law, not the law.
Filament candidates (krill habitat density, each times the steep-core mask):
| Name | Construction |
|---|---|
band |
The operator's Deposition(slope) alone (r3's baseline, B25a). Control, not an option. |
skein |
Strands: a Gabriel graph over the zone's wells (TD:31 [V]) with a soft gate (the empty-disc margin through a smoothstep), each edge a Gaussian strand of width 28 u + 3 % of its length, bent by a Zel'dovich warp of the flow, x - 20 s * u(x) (TD:39 [V]). |
skein-hard |
skein with the hard 0/1 Gabriel gate, for the pop count. |
lattice |
The operator's reference node: a lattice smooth Voronoi (260 u cells) with her hashed per-site multiplicative weight, raised by up to 1.6x near wells so the cells shrink on the shoulders; output is the border (her smooth-min gap, and F2 - F1 at width .1 cell), warped by the flow for 6 s, times the band widened (band^.75). Sites drift on zone time (.05 rad/s). |
skein-web |
skein plus lattice hanging off the strands: the web is gated by a strand halo (4x width) or the band. |
slack |
A multiplicatively weighted Voronoi of the wells (weight = gravity radius), distance to the cell border to first order, `(F2 - F1) / |
Trophic layers over skein-web (layer_*.png): L1-glim (starlight inside the sun's light radius plus heat-light on
warm well floors, fed along the Skein), L2-krill (Skein times a Holling-II saturation of glim, TD:55 [S]),
L2-minnows (Holling of krill averaged over the point and 8 taps on a 48 u ring), L3-sharks (minnows over a
160 u ring, times the band), L3-lanterns (slack times krill over a 120 u ring).
Images: density_<candidate>.png (zone 4000 u across, t = 0, absolute density, red = bodies), members_<candidate>.png
(hosted krill candidates at 16 u, fixed thresholds .1 + .9h), layer_<layer>.png, members_L2-minnows.png (48 u),
members_L3-sharks.png (128 u), members_L3-lanterns.png (64 u).
Logs: run1.log (the full run, 1,211 s), win.log (search window and weight range against presence steps),
cyc.log (the lattice drift read at the member's cycle start).
To rerun: copy this folder and ../2026-10-14-fauna-habitat-probe/habitat_probe.py into one scratch directory
(the scripts write PNGs next to themselves), then py -3 -u trophic_probe.py 256 (about 20 minutes),
py -3 -u winprobe.py, py -3 -u cycprobe.py. habitat_probe.py reads the B20 Physarum map from
C:\aeth-wt\fauna-target-r3\docs\research\2026-10-13-fauna-placement-probe\output.txt; edit the path if the
worktree moved. Python 3 only, no packages.
