From 3b1420ae92f6b1d8d885183377507d5c677b931a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Claude Date: Wed, 24 Jun 2026 08:08:57 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] osint/torso: helix-anchor codec (x265-for-gaussians), measured MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit tools/spl_codec.py — the "x265 for gaussians" the design converged on, as a MEASUREMENT tool that proves the structure before it is wired into render/anim. Maps the x265 pipeline onto signals already in SPL2 + torso.nodes.json: helix = 3D Morton of position = identity/GUID order (locality-preserving) anchor = FMA node (SoA centroid + per-node colour) = the I-frame, random-access motion = gaussian offset from its node anchor residual = helix-ordered zig-zag delta of (motion, normal) colour = ANCHOR-PREDICTED -> 0 per-gaussian bytes (node palette) Measured on the real torso (231,515 gaussians): SPL2 21.0 B/g -> SPL3 7.47 B/g = 2.8x smaller (zlib entropy stand-in) colour: exact, 887 B for ALL colour (crisp by construction, no boundary bleed) position round-trip RMSE 0.00001 (16-bit quant, effectively lossless) node_row RLE 35 KB / 231K (structures contiguous in helix order) streams: motion 1.02 MB, normal 671 KB (the target: octahedral + range coder) Validates "crisp colours without overhead" exactly: colour is fully predicted by the node anchor, so it costs 0 per-gaussian bytes and cannot bleed across a structure boundary. Next: octahedral normals + range coder; decode-at-load + anisotropic/edge-aware reconstruction; deform anchors -> animated anatomy.
