Last iteration I offered 'position + scalar + integer links is the shape of a
BVH node' as a reading of the shape. Tested properly it fails.
Following every u16 half of every integer slot and checking child-sphere-inside-
parent-sphere gives 0.00% for every candidate -- but the informative number is
the RANDOM control, also 0.00%. No node's sphere contains any other node's
sphere anywhere in the file, so there is no nesting for an index to point at and
the hypothesis dies before the indices matter.
The reason is scale: slot 7 has a median of 3139 against a median inter-node
distance of 45457, 14x smaller, and a random other centre falls within it 0.40%
of the time. It is also smaller than the smallest grid cell on any map.
So slot 7 is a LOCAL scale, not a hierarchy radius. 63410 scattered centres each
with a sub-cell extent is the shape of many small independent volumes, which
would fit per-object collision hulls for asteroids and debris -- a reading, not
a measurement.
What this removes is a wrong frame: the file is not a tree, so tree-shaped tests
will keep returning nothing.
