GameCult.Geometry

The project is known as CultGeometry. GameCult.Geometry is its clean .NET package and namespace identity.

GameCult.Geometry owns reusable procedural geometry algorithms together with the CultCache-native documents that carry their domains, build requests, selected cuts, and mesh chunk artifacts.

It is the schema authority for the shared CultGeometry* records. GameCult.Geometry.Csg owns CSG production behavior and proves wire parity against those records; it does not independently evolve their identities.

Its first engine-neutral algorithm is CultGeometryIsoSurface.Extract, a marching-tetrahedra extractor over regular scalar grids. It uses CultMath for numeric primitives and emits CultGeometryTriangleMesh; Godot, Unity, native workers, and other consumers adapt that neutral result into their own runtime objects. See ISOSURFACE-PROVENANCE.md for the clean-port boundary.

The package is deliberately substrate-shaped:

• CultCache owns document identity, schema compatibility, references, and local persistence.
• CultNet can distribute these documents through the normal raw document lane.
• CultMesh can use them as worker-visible shared state for simulation and geometry pipelines.
• JSON is not a runtime transport here. It may publish schema descriptions at the xeno boundary, but the live machine eats and emits typed CultCache documents.

Value Primitives

The small value layer is for cross-runtime query contracts, physics probes, native slices, and UI surfaces. Vectors and rectangles are CultMath's float2, float3 and rect, and GameCult.Caching.MessagePack serializes them.

• CultCircle: 2D influence/query brush with rect intersection helpers.
• CultSphere: 3D query primitive with whole-vector center and XY projection.

Aetheria object viewports, gravity influence brushes, Ymir overlap/cast query fixtures, and Unity native render views should use these shapes or generated runtime equivalents instead of bespoke { minX, minY, maxX, maxY } payloads.

Runtime Path

CultGeometry CSG (GameCult.Geometry.Csg) emits domain documents, selected-cut manifests, and chunk artifacts as MessagePack CultCache documents. A Godot runtime, local worker, or remote geometry process receives the same records through CultMesh/CultNet and reads them back as CultGeometry* types.

using GameCult.Caching;
using GameCult.Geometry;
using GameCult.Mesh;
using GameCult.Networking;

var geometryDocuments = new CultNetDocumentRegistry(CultDocumentRegistry.Shared)
    .Register(CultNetDocumentBinding.ForDocument<CultGeometryDomainDocument>())
    .Register(CultNetDocumentBinding.ForDocument<CultGeometryBuildRequest>())
    .Register(CultNetDocumentBinding.ForDocument<CultGeometrySelectedCutManifest>())
    .Register(CultNetDocumentBinding.ForDocument<CultGeometryChunkArtifact>());

using var node = await CultMesh.CreateNodeAsync("ragnarok-geometry.ccmp", new CultMeshNodeOptions
{
    DatabaseOptions = new CultNetDatabaseOptions
    {
        RuntimeId = "godot-runtime",
        DocumentRegistry = geometryDocuments
    }
});

using var chunks = node.Database
    .Watch<CultGeometryChunkArtifact>()
    .Subscribe(change => ApplyChunk(change.Document));

The record key is part of the contract. Rust and C# must compute the same key for the same geometry record, so stable fingerprints use the Rust canonical field order and invariant float text. If this drifts, the same chunk becomes two different chunks depending on which runtime touched it first. That is not a cache miss; that is split-brain geometry.

Documents

• CultCircle, CultSphere: shared value primitives for query and view contracts.
• CultGeometryDomainDocument: one hierarchical domain tree, suitable for Ragnarok/Fensalir-style feature DSL output.
• CultGeometryBuildRequest: one LOD/frustum/budget request for workers.
• CultGeometrySelectedCutManifest: the selected domain cut, deferred children, fallback rows, and diagnostic contribution rows.
• CultGeometryChunkArtifact: render mesh, optional collider mesh, source domain/claim identities, build counters, and transition clipping seed.
