From 1dca43596e81e8c10db7b6fc801a2e612dd4a2b0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Meta Vens Date: Fri, 25 Sep 2026 19:17:39 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 01/16] Add smin_grad and cellular value-and-gradient primitives to CultMath smin_grad(float4,float4,float) carries Inigo Quilez's cubic-polynomial smooth minimum to invariant 8's value-and-gradient form: the gradient blend lerp(b,a,h) is the exact analytic derivative, not an approximation, since the h-derivative terms cancel algebraically inside the smoothing band. cellular(float3) is Worley's cellular texture basis function (SIGGRAPH 1996), searched over the jittered 3x3x3 neighbourhood of pcg3d-selected feature points. It returns the new CultCellular struct (nearest, edge, id), following the repo's existing degenerate-normal convention (GameCult.Geometry.CultGeometryIsoSurface.EmitOrientedTriangle) to return a finite zero gradient instead of NaN at a feature point. Both are fresh implementations from the cited literature, not ports, so they get a design.md/doc-comment citation instead of a THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES entry. design.md gains an "Invariant 8: Value-and-Gradient Primitives" section documenting both primitives' semantics and conventions.

Values() now recurses through struct fields of any type, so a struct return (invariant 8's one shape, e.g. CultCellular) is compared field by field down to bit-for-bit scalars, exactly like a vector return already was. Components() stays scoped to scalar-typed fields, since it only ever builds function arguments and must not recurse. TransformHlslToCSharp gains transformation 5: struct fields gain `public`, since HLSL has no field access-modifier concept and a C# struct's fields default to private, which would hide them from Values()' reflection. The old wrap-in-a-class transformation is renumbered 6. design.md's transformation list documents both, matching design.md:92's numbered list. StructReturnComparisonRejectsAMismatchedField is the extension's own test: two hand-built structs with the same shape (mirroring a real mirror-vs-C# comparison) prove the field-by-field, bit-for-bit walk actually rejects a struct whose leaf field differs, or whose nested vector's own component differs, not just a length check. EveryMirrorFunctionMatchesCSharpMath and HlslMirrorTests' required-symbol list now cover cultmath_smin_grad and cultmath_cellular; the mirrored-function count moves from 28 to 30.

AssertWithinTolerance replaces the precision-based assertion for both central- difference comparisons with an explicit absolute-difference check, which states the actual claim (agreement within the finite-difference step's own truncation error) without the rounding-boundary artifact.

Both are real findings about the code, not the tests: F2 = 0 needs two distinct integer cells' pcg3d-jittered feature points to land on the exact float32 value in every component, which the jitter's ~24-bit float precision makes unreachable for any p this function is actually called with. The spec only asks for the degenerate guard at F1 = 0; F2's copy of it was added for symmetry and had no reachable case to defend. Deleted the guard (grad2 is now a bare (p - c2) / f2) in math.cs and both HLSL mirrors, and corrected design.md's invariant-8 section, which had overstated this as symmetric with F1's guard.

The comment in math.cs proves 5x5x5 always contains the true F1 and F2 (both are always < sqrt(3), every excluded cell is always > 2). A cheap position-only lower-bound prune skips the pcg3d/jitter/distance work for cells that provably cannot beat the running F2, without changing any output bit (F6). - F2 = 0 now gets the same degenerate-gradient guard F1 = 0 already had, fixing a NaN that was reachable past |p| of about 2^23 (F3). - id now comes from pcg4d over the winning cell alone, never from the pcg3d hash that produced that cell's jitter, so id and jitter are no longer deterministic functions of each other (F4). - cellular_unit maps the top 24 bits instead of a plain divide-by-2^32, so the mapping is always inside [0, 1); the old formula rounded 0xFFFFFF80..0xFFFFFFFF up to exactly 1.0f (F7). - Central-difference tolerances tightened from 0.02 to 3e-4 (measured float noise at the committed eps is about 6e-5), and cellular's own gradient test now differentiates cellular's RETURNED .w values instead of a duplicate FindF1F2 search, so a mutant that corrupts only the returned gradient can't hide behind an independently-computed value (F1, F5). - The struct-mirror comparison in HlslSourceCompatibilityTests now checks field name and declared type in declaration order, not just position, so a reordered-and-relabelled mirror struct (H2) or a renamed/retyped one (H3) both fail the walk instead of surviving on values alone (F2). - FindF1F2 widened to a true independent 7x7x7 brute-force oracle; new tests pin production's exact agreement with it, the pruned search's bit-for-bit equivalence to an unpruned 5x5x5 reference, no NaN at 2^24, and id's correlation with jitter under 0.05. - Comment/doc fix: smin_grad is Quilez's quadratic-polynomial smin, not cubic. Both shaders/CultMath.hlsl and unity/.../Shaders/CultMath.hlsl stay byte-identical. Manually verified mutants M9 (grad1 x 1.01), M16 (grad2 x 1.01), and M18 (id from hash.y) all die against these tests; H2/H3 struct mutants die via the new comparator tests. Local dotnet test: 191/191 passing. FXC cs_5_0 compile of a scratch kernel using both cultmath_smin_grad and cultmath_cellular succeeds.

That is not the sweeps being weak: the exactness proof's own margin (F1, F2 always < sqrt(3), radius-2 cells' lower bound is exactly 2) makes a genuine win from any single |offset component| = 2 cell astronomically rare over uniformly random points (measured zero hits in 3,000,000 samples). SearchReachesEveryAxisAlignedRadiusTwoSlice constructs a real example for each of the six axis-aligned radius-2 offsets directly: for a candidate integer cell, build the query point that is the closest point of that cell's own unit cube to the target neighbour's actual jittered feature. That construction finds a hit for every offset within a couple thousand candidate cells, deterministically. This kills dz < 2 / dy < 2 / dx < 2 (all manually confirmed). Also manually confirmed via Stryker's own reported mutants: the dz--/dy--/ dx-- (increment-to-decrement) mutants are genuine infinite loops, correctly caught as timeouts. The f2 >= 0.0f mutant (disabling the F2 = 0 guard) is killed by the existing NoNaNAtIntegerPointsNear2To24 test. The remaining survivors/timeouts in the new code (the lower-bound prune's >>= vs > comparison, its arithmetic terms, and cellular_unit's >> vs >>> shift on an already-unsigned operand) are equivalent mutants: since the per-axis lower bound is always 0 or 1 by construction, and pruning is a proven-safe optimization that never changes cellular's output, no mutation confined to "when does the prune trigger" can be observed by any value-based test. Verified by hand: disabling pruning entirely reproduces the unpruned reference bit for bit, as it must.

This is the behavioural pin for the hashing fix; reverting to pcg3d(cell)'s float-bit hash fails it. - Two false comments corrected to the measured facts: the NearestFeatureWins test's claim that |component|=2 offsets are "provably never the true nearest" is false (their lower bound is 1, not sqrt(3); Soul measured 3 F1 wins in 2,000,000 samples), and SearchReachesEveryAxis...'s claim of "lower bound is exactly 2" and "zero hits in 3,000,000" is also false (lower bound is 1; Soul measured about 1 hit in 28,000). - PrunedSearchIsBitIdentical... renamed to ...BelowTwoToTheTwentyFifth and its comment states that domain explicitly (design.md, previous commit). - GradientTolerance split into SminGradientTolerance (2.5e-4f) and CellularGradientTolerance (1.3e-3f): the two functions have different curvature (smin_grad is exactly quadratic in a band; cellular's F1/F2 are real distance fields), so a shared 3e-4 tolerance carried almost no headroom over either's actual measured noise (re-measured here at 5.3e-4 for smin's old eps, 2.0e-4/2.6e-4 for cellular), not the "~6e-5" the old comment claimed. smin_grad's eps moves from 0.001f to 0.01f (no truncation cost there; dilutes float noise 8x) with a matching widened seam-exclusion band so p +/- eps cannot step across the seam the check at p already avoided. cellular's eps stays at 0.0005f (a small sweep found it already near the truncation/noise sweet spot for a real distance field). Both new tolerances keep >5x headroom over their own measured worst case and both still die under a 1.01x-scale mutant on the returned gradient — smin down to 1.0005x, cellular (M9/M16-style, either gradient) down to 1.002x. - GradientMatchesCentralDifferencesAwayFromTheF1EqualsF2Seam also excludes a band around F2 = F3 now, not just F1 = F2: the second-nearest feature's identity swaps there too, a genuine kink the old test could silently hit (an unfiltered large sample found a 0.78 edge error this way, swamping the ~2e-4 the filtered test actually sees). - AxisAlignedRadiusTwoOffsets and FindPointRealizingOffset are extracted from SearchReachesEveryAxisAlignedRadiusTwoSlice as internal fixtures so HlslSourceCompatibilityTests (next commit) can reuse the same construction instead of a second copy.

Adds three targeted point cases, reusing CellularAndSminGradTests' own fixtures so the mirror test does not carry a second copy of the construction: - the six points from AxisAlignedRadiusTwoOffsets/FindPointRealizingOffset, each of which realizes a different axis-aligned radius-2 offset as F1 or F2 in the independent 7x7x7 oracle; - four integer points at 2^24 (both signs), where distinct cells' jittered features can round onto the same float32 value, reaching the F2 = 0 guard; - one exact F1 = F2 tie point, the midpoint of two adjacent cells' feature points (bit-exact-equidistant from both by construction, no search needed). Verified against four HLSL mutants applied to shaders/CultMath.hlsl on scratch copies (not committed) and reverted after each check: - `dz < 2` instead of `dz <= 2`: killed by the axis-slice point at (-56.671272, -67.01973, -79.001). - `dx` starting at -1 instead of -2: killed by the axis-slice point at (62, -77.91331, -79.42451). - pruning against f1 instead of f2: killed by an axis-slice point and both of the 2^24 integer points (3 mismatches). - the F2 = 0 guard removed (`grad2 = (p - c2) / f2`, unconditional): killed by the (2^24, 2^24, 2^24) integer point (NaN vs the guarded zero).
