Formal Specification
If you only need the worldbuilding context, you can stop here. The sections below contain formal definitions, fields, governance, and implementation details for deeper reference.
Nine-layer Overview
Start with the human meaning of each layer, while preserving the formal Layer code for implementation.
| Layer | Formal name | Human meaning |
|---|---|---|
0 | Header | Version, asset ID, source, right-handed XYZ coordinates, millimeter unit, precision, time, rights, hash, and compatibility. |
1 | G-Mesh | Face / Body / Fine geometry and exchangeable mesh references. |
2 | R-Profile | Proportion and morphology references; proportion is not beauty. |
3 | S-Skin | Surface, skin, hair, and microstructure representation. |
4 | K-Motion | Facial micro-expression, posture, gait, and soft-tissue dynamics. |
5 | P-Scent | Chemosensory / scent profiles and environmental dependence. |
6 | L-View | Lighting, viewing, camera, and capture conditions. |
7 | C-Cal | Measurement instruments, calibration, error, and conformance records. |
8 | RGT | Rights / Consent / Provenance and version lineage. |
