A Soul pass measured the thing three cuts assumed. FireControl's per-shot seed
feeds CultMath's xorshift32, whose NextFloat returns the top 24 bits of the
FIRST round -- and one round cannot carry ShotId's low-bit variation into the
high bits. Every zone's hit roll spans 0.1249. A shot is a step function whose
threshold is fixed when the zone is created: below the band it never hits, above
it always does. An unaided shooter hit 0 of 18,926 shots.
That is the operator's "no hits registering," and being stable per zone is why
it came and went.
It is this map's own prescription, written by Self in Cut 6b, and the reason it
survived is that no test in the campaign measures a distribution -- every
fixture uses accuracy 1 or 0, and a constant satisfies a determinism test
perfectly.
Also takes pOnHull collapsing to zero above Precision ~4 (no shipped hull's
centre of mass is integral, so a tight sigma underflows every cell weight), and
the LockWeapon crash Cut 8 did not actually fix -- that code only runs on an
active entity, so the _active guard was never what would prevent it. Docking
still reaches it.
