LongRange and FarFake cells
LongRange lists distant proxies and ordinary objects; its name does not classify every Entity as a far stand-in. FarFake cells contain merged object proxies layered over terrain. Distant ground instead uses coarser terrain nodes. Observed
All 1,024 FarFake cell numbers use Morton order on a 32 × 32 grid of 512 m cells: x occupies even interleaved bits, y odd bits. Centers are (-8192 + 512x + 256, -8192 + 512y + 256), checked against every stored translation. This differs from streaming-grid row-major record order. Proven
The second number in FarFake names (Cell_<m>) is a running identifier rather than that spatial code. Observed
| Layer | Storage / evidence | Confidence |
|---|---|---|
| FarFake | Proxy Mesh, ObjectAtlas material; campus-cell geometry has buildings and bare gaps | Observed |
| NearFake | Stub-like cells; complete runtime role unresolved | Unknown |
| Far trees | Instanced low-detail meshes and Impostor resources | Observed |
| FakeForest | Merged forest layer distinct from terrain and individual tree instances | Observed |
| Far ground | Coarser terrain-node height rasters | Observed |
| Far water | Fake-water components with world-space half-float positions | Observed |
AutoFakeOrchestratorComponent (0xD4B44556) stores index spans related to the following Visual. Its span grammar reaches the next component on 4,052 measured bodies. MeshInstanceData’s IsFake and FakeMeshIndex correlate with cell proxies. Observed
The interpretation that a loaded near object hides its own spans in the merged cell fits these fields, but target-to-span mapping and live behavior are not established. Inferred
Projected triangle area averages only 8.3% of cell area in 23 campus-neighborhood cells and 6.8% in 29 Area 52-neighborhood cells, contradicting continuous-ground interpretation. Per cell the proxies cover 3–37% of the area, and 32–34% of their triangles face up. Observed
Coarser terrain levels reproduce the leaf heights closely: decoded at level 5 with decoded × 5000 × 2^(8-L-20), they differ from level 8 by 0.46 m RMS around CITYSCHOOL and 1.18 m around Area 52. Observed · two areas
Draw distance, near-object mapping and suppression against terrain remain unresolved. Morton numbering is established independently. Unknown
