pub const DEFAULT_SOFTNESS: f32 = 0.25;Expand description
The across-the-stroke profile the four line families draw at unless a
preset binds softness itself (ADR-0124).
0.25 — a solid stroke with a short shoulder — set by Plan 0114 Phase
4’s look gate, which judged the shipped presets side by side at 1920x1080
and 1280x800 and then in the running app on real audio. 1.0 — the pure
quadratic falloff every line scene drew from Plan 0010 — puts a 4 px spine
inside a 10 px gradient, which is the blurred verdict that opened Plan
0114.
1.0 remains reachable and is not dead surface. The same gate returned
1.0 for the Maurer roses, 0 for curve_ionwake and 0.25 for
lsystem_vellum — which is why this is an authorable parameter with a
default rather than a constant. A preset that wants the luminous smear
binds one number and gets the pre-Plan-0114 fragment back, term for term.
It is deliberately not the value
warp_mesh passes:
that surface is judged against foo_vis_milk2 rather than against this
plan’s gate and is pinned at 1.0, so a reader of either call site can see
which judge it serves without leaving the file.
