Scientific purpose

Study seam presentation and transport class structure near portal geometry under Gallery shell:

  1. Is simulated transport presentation active (glyph warp, curved path)?
  2. What does the outcome plane say (HitGeometry vs background vs max-steps)?
  3. Are Unresolved Regions eligible for Region Probe?

Do not start from magenta flood-fill.


Screenshots (role-labeled)

Capture A — portal-facing plate

File: screenshots/2026-07-26 Canonical Portal Scene with GRIN Film Camera Diagnostics normals.png

Roles in the capture:

Region of image Role
Large 3D room / portal mesh world viewport
Film inset Observation Plate
Brown/blue face fields on plate display mapping (NormalRGB-like)
Grid-aligned magenta blocks legacy presentation fallback—not semantic outcome plane
HUD legend “Magenta = no hit” (if visible) legacy presentation chrome—retired as doctrine

Safe reading: transport presentation can be active (warped portal lettering) while plate still shows large fallback fills. Semantic classes are not determined from the image alone.

Capture B — alternate portal-facing plate

File: screenshots/2026-07-26 Canonical Portal Scene with GRIN Film Camera Diagnostics normals_B.png

Same roles: viewport + Observation Plate + display mapping + legacy magenta. Use as a second presentation example only.


Operator path

  1. Gallery shell · fixed portal-facing pose.
  2. Transport Lens SNAPSHOT Complete.
  3. Inspector: outcome histogram.
  4. Display Mode NormalRGB for teaching orientation only on HitGeometry context.
  5. Region Probe only from region_label, never from magenta.

Interpretation boundary

Claim boundary

Portal Seam does not verify physical wormholes. Glyph warp ≠ outcome code. Magenta ≠ no hit. Fixture PASS elsewhere ≠ this live pose qualified.
