CultMath's hash is the shader-style frac(sin(x) * 43758.5453) and
returns float. Unity.Mathematics' hash returned a well-mixed uint, and
seeding from the float hash collapses: a 100x100 position grid gave 1625
distinct values in Aetheria's zone generator.
- math.pcg(uint), pcg3d(int3/float2/float3), and pcg4d(int4/float4)
follow Jarzynski and Olano, "Hash Functions for GPU Rendering"
(JCGT 9(3), 2020). pcg3d and pcg4d are the paper's code from page 32.
pcg is O'Neill's RXS-M-XS 32/32 output over one LCG step, with the
constants checked against pcg-c's pcg_variants.h.
- CultMath has no uint vectors, so pcg3d and pcg4d carry uint bit
patterns in int3/int4. The float overloads hash IEEE-754 bits via the
HLSL intrinsic asuint(float), which is new. pcg3d(float2) holds z at
0, the paper's route for 2 -> N inputs.
- The HLSL mirror gains the same functions, written over scalar uints
so the text compiles both in dxc 1.9.0.5402 (lib_6_3, HV 2021, clean)
and in C#. HlslSourceCompatibilityTests now compares int and uint
arguments and results by value; a wrong shift in the mirror's pcg4d
gives 208 mismatches.
- Known-answer vectors come from an independent Python transcription.
pcg3d separates a 100x100 half-unit grid (the full int3). One
component alone has one birthday collision there, as a 32-bit value
can. The same grid on the integer lattice has none.
- design.md states that the hashes are integer-exact in HLSL and on the
CPU: dxc wraps uint multiply and add modulo 2^32, as C# unchecked does.
- Bump to 0.2.3 and rebuild the tracked Unity DLL and pdb.

tools/generate-swizzles.ps1 writes the checked-in src/CultMath/Swizzles.g.cs
as partial structs plus a partial math: for float2/3/4, int2/3/4 and bool2/3/4
every swizzle of length 2-4 including repeats, in xyzw and rgba naming, with
setters only on non-repeating masks, plus single-component r/g/b/a. double2/3
get lengths 2-3 (there is no double4). Every HLSL mixed constructor
(float4(float2, float2), float4(float, float2, float), copy forms, ...) exists
as a struct constructor and, for float/int/bool, a math function. The
hand-written swizzles and mixed constructors it supersedes are deleted.
Matrices store private rows and return ref float2/float3 from the row
indexer ([UnscopedRef], polyfilled for netstandard2.1), so m[1][2] = s
compiles as in HLSL; _mRC are get/set properties over the rows. Equality and
hashing stay value-based.
Intrinsics follow HLSL: sign returns int/intN and yields 0 for NaN; step is
x >= y ? 1 : 0 so NaN yields 0; any/all accept float and int vectors;
min/max/abs on int vectors return int vectors, and abs(int) returns int.
Strips the UTF-8 BOMs this branch added to math.cs, CultMath.csproj and
HlslSemanticsTests.cs.

HLSL is now CultMath's semantic authority where it defines one.
- float2/3/4, int2, double2/3, bool2 and quaternion are plain structs with
public mutable fields instead of record structs. Indexers and swizzles
(float2.yx; float3 xy xz yx yz zy xyz xzy yzx zyx; float4 xy xyz xyw yzx)
have setters.
- ==, !=, <, >, <=, >= are component-wise and return bool2/3/4. Equals and
GetHashCode stay value-based so vectors remain dictionary keys.
quaternion is not an HLSL type and keeps a bool ==.
- Scalar/vector arithmetic and comparisons get explicit overloads on both
sides instead of leaning on implicit splat.
- New types: bool3, bool4, int3, int4, float2x2, float3x3 (row-major like
HLSL, _mRC fields, Rotate / RotateX/Y/Z / Euler with math.RotationOrder).
- New intrinsics: mul (matrix-vector both sides, matrix-matrix), any, all,
select (HLSL argument order), log, vector pow/sqrt/sin/cos/acos/atan2,
double min/max, int3/int4/bool3/bool4/float2x2/float3x3 constructor
functions.
- simplex_noise is renamed snoise and gains the Ashima 3D variant; the HLSL
mirror follows as cultmath_snoise(float2/float3).
- Random gains NextFloat3() and NextFloat3(float3 max) on the same draw order.
Tests pin snoise(float3), float3x3.Euler and float2x2.Rotate to
Unity.Mathematics reference values, and an HLSL-shaped source block compiles
under using static CultMath.math.
