01

A production rendering system

The white paper follows the complete product pipeline: viewport coordinates, adaptive path selection, reference-orbit construction, perturbation, recovery, color, 3D shading, anti-aliasing, capture, and final presentation.

02

Validated, bounded claims

Version 3 uses adaptive finite precision through a validated 1×10²⁵ Mandelbrot ceiling. The paper distinguishes representable scale, resolved detail, numerical accuracy, and full-frame performance.
