The cyclic non-strict step(x0.yzx, x0.xyz) made the four corners a non-simplex
where x0's components are equal: the origin and every (t, t, t) read a different
function (snoise(0) was -0.4358730, jumps up to 0.77). One strict compare, z
against x, gives simplexnoise1234's order. Off the tie set old and new return
the same bits.
NoiseGradTests.SnoiseIsContinuousOnTheSimplexDiagonal fails against the old
rule (0.054 within 1 ulp of (-53.6, -53.6, -53.6)). The origin golden is 0 and a
(1.25, 1.25, 1.25) diagonal row joins it. SNOISE_LIPSCHITZ and the GLSL follow
in the next commits, so the ratio pin and CommittedGlslEqualsLowering are red here.

Seven values change: four snoise(float3) in HlslSemanticsTests and three snoise(float2)
in MathTests (the 2D (0,0) golden is 0 either way). Regenerated from the code after the
continuity probe passed. The tests no longer claim to match Unity.Mathematics, whose
snoise keeps the old constants.

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.

dxc 1.9.0.5402 lowers float2/3/4 normalize(x) to x * Rsqrt(Dot(x, x)),
and DXIL.rst defines Rsqrt as 1 / sqrt(src). A zero vector normalizes
to NaN and a NaN component poisons every component. CultMath divided
by max(length, 1e-20), which returned 0 for a zero vector and a huge
finite component beside a NaN one.
- math.normalize(float2/3/4) is now value * (1 / sqrt(dot(value, value))).
- The HLSL mirror drops cultmath_normalize and its epsilon constant: it
now equals the normalize intrinsic, and nothing consumed it.
- HlslSemanticsTests pins zero and NaN normalize, the rsqrt bit pattern,
and zero length/distance. design.md states the rule and notes that
DXIL.rst's Rsqrt special-value table is a copy of Round's.
- GameCult.Geometry's iso-surface gave degenerate triangles (an inside
vertex on the isovalue) a zero normal through the old epsilon. It now
guards them explicitly, with a test.
- quaternion normalize keeps its identity fallback: quaternion is not
an HLSL type.
- Bump to 0.2.2 and rebuild the tracked Unity DLL and pdb.

Aetheria Cut 8a needs int2(float2), clamp(int, int, int), and
frac(double). Fill them in CultMath as dxc compiles them:
- generate-swizzles.ps1 emits same-size conversion constructors and
math functions between float, int, and bool vectors. dxc lowers
float to int as fptosi (toward zero; NaN and out-of-range undefined),
numeric to bool as != 0 (fcmp une, NaN is true), bool to numeric as
0 or 1. floatN(int) splat keeps floatN(0) from going ambiguous
against floatN(intN).
- Int and int-vector clamp are min(max(x, a), b), matching dxc's
IMin(IMax(x, a), b); inverted bounds return b.
- frac(double) keeps double precision. dxc demotes double frac to
float, as it does exp and lerp; CultMath's existing double overloads
already diverge that way, and design.md now says so.

dxc lowers double min/max to dx.op.binary.f64 opcodes 36/35 (FMin/FMax),
the same operations as float, so Math.Min/Math.Max (NaN-propagating) was the
wrong rule. Double min/max now use the float formulas, with NaN and signed-zero
assertions beside the float ones. Tracked Unity DLL rebuilt.

dxc lowers float min/max/clamp to dx.op FMin/FMax (36/35) and saturate to
dx.op Saturate (7). DXIL.rst defines them: FMin(a, b) is a < b ? a : b,
FMax(a, b) is a >= b ? a : b, a NaN operand returns the other, and
Saturate is FMin(1, FMax(0, x)). C# used MathF.Min/Max, which pass NaN
through and order signed zeros, so saturate(NaN) was NaN instead of 0.
Every float overload now follows the spec, normalize uses the same max as
its mirror, and the mirror's saturate spells Saturate's operand order
(which maps -0 to +0, where clamp(x, 0, 1) keeps -0). Non-NaN results
change only in the sign of a zero. design.md records the rules and that
dxc marks float math fast, so GPU NaN results are not guaranteed.

dxc 1.9.0.5402 (dxc_2026_07_29, lib_6_3, -HV 2021, -Od) lowers step(e, x) to
fcmp olt x, e; select 0 : 1, so NaN on either side gives 1. The previous
x >= e ? 1 : 0 rule came from prose, not the compiler. math.step and
cultmath_step now use x < e ? 0 : 1 for every overload; the mirror's
cultmath_step compiles to the same fcmp/select as the intrinsic. Unity shader
copy synced; DLL rebuilt and byte-checked by build-unity-package.ps1.

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.
