R28 ledger #3. My own idea, parked since R7. Brief stated acceptance only, so I scoped it. THE TRAP MY OWN v3.0 NOTE SET: it said "userData.audioEmitter = musicKey so Lane B can position/spatialise the bed". Both halves wrong. (1) Shape: the engine holds no reference to the room group and would traverse a scene it cannot reach — emitters belong on room.audio as data, riding the EXISTING playInterior() call (no lifecycle, no traverse, no dispose hook). (2) Method: "spatialise" invites a PannerNode. NOTHING in this tree sets ctx.listener (zero hits), so a panner resolves against a listener frozen at (0,0,0) — which, because rooms are built room-local at the origin, is the room's own CENTRE, forever. Measured, OfflineAudioContext, real pub stage bed: panner, listener never set (the engine as it SHIPS): RMS 0.106905 door / 0.106905 stage -> ratio 1.0000, bit-identical panner + listener tracking the player: RMS 0.055665 / 0.500000 -> 8.98x It plays, throws nothing, warns nothing, and never changes by one sample as you cross the room — while failing at the only thing it exists to do. "Routed through a panner?" yes. "Audible in a venue?" yes. "In a shop?" yes. All green, all worthless. -> ASSERT THE DELTA (gain at door != gain at stage), NEVER THE PRESENCE. Vacuous-gate law, 4th application — and this one had no author to blame but me. The house idiom was already right: tram/spill/gig-spill are all hand-rolled distance-gains vs PROCITY.camera.position. No listener, no panner. SHIPPED (C's files only): - room.audio.emitters {stage?, counter?} — room-local, 3dp, 18/18 same-seed deep-equal. `r` (reach) is the ROOM DIAGONAL, not a constant: measured diagonals 9.81-15.63m, and scaling to the room holds door->stage proximity in a 0.42-0.59 band from a pokey band_room to a hall pub. `floor` is the room-filling residue, never 0 — a PA fills a pub; what changes as you walk in is the BALANCE, not the presence. Swing 2.65-4.52 dB (John R20: subtle changes are great). - THE TILL RINGS FROM THE COUNTER — audible positioning in a normal shop with NO ENGINE CHANGE, via B's already-public playSfx(key,{gain}): C does its own distance math, hands B a scalar. Measured through the real BUY button, real record shop: 0.9489 @0.60m vs 0.6436 @4.19m = 3.37 dB; negative control (no emitters) fires at exactly 1.0. sfx-till.ogg has been on disk since 15 Jul and had NEVER ONCE PLAYED. Routing, not content — as the brief said. - ?mute=1 now actually silences the crate riffle (below). WHY THE VENUE HALF IS AN ASK: a one-shot resolves its gain once, at fire time, from a position C already knows. A bed must be re-gained every frame inside the engine's update() loop — B's file. Structural, not political. B has a ~12-line paste-ready diff in the house idiom; audio.js untouched. The letter of "consulted not modified" could have been met by reaching through B's exposed state.layers diag to rewire its graph from outside — that backdoor is strictly worse than the edit it avoids. Refused. TWO BUGS FOUND: - F DROPS EMITTERS ON THE ONE NIGHT THEY MATTER. interior_mode.js:289 rebuilds the spec on a gig night ({musicKey: ra.gigKey, toneKey: WALLA_KEY}) and every unnamed field dies. Measured on a real gig-night pub: quietNight_emittersSurvive TRUE, gigNight_emittersSurvive FALSE. Silent, fail-soft, no error. -> F: don't just spread `ra`; pass emitters DELIBERATELY, gig-night only — on a quiet night the radio + room-tone genuinely ARE room-filling. - ?mute=1 NEVER SILENCED THE RIFFLE (R5->R28). dig.js opened a SECOND, private AudioContext straight to destination, breaking both stated house laws (ONE AudioContext; mute forces silence). It survived three epochs because NO GATE ASSERTS MUTE => SILENCE: the engine returns its silent surface and looks honest from its own side, while the sound came from somewhere it never knew existed. A gate that asks the engine whether it is muted can only ever answer yes. Fixed via B's PUBLIC .muted getter (consulted, not modified), URL fallback when standalone. Measured with a positive control so the probe provably CAN see sound: live 1 ctx / 1 source; muted 0 / 0. Blips stay procedural on purpose — zero-fetch, deterministic, still work under ?noassets=1 where a sampled riffle cannot. Only mute was broken; only mute was fixed. -> F: assert SILENCE, not muted-state. HARNESS HONESTY: the first till rig reported the same clean 3.37 dB — from a CONTAMINATED rig (createDig appends a panel per call, close() doesn't remove it, so querySelector clicked trial 1's stale button every time). Tell: panelUp false on all three, and the NEGATIVE CONTROL returning 0.6436 where it must return 1.0. The gains matched the formula exactly; I refused them anyway and re-ran isolated (panelCount 1, panelUp true, control 1.0). Never report a number from a rig you have watched lie — even when you like the number. QA GREEN 6/0/0/0. Docs: LANE_C_AUDIO.md -> v3.1 (contract + both asks + every measurement). |

PROCITY
A standalone, procedurally generated, fully walkable 90s-Australian shopping town — every building enterable (the Vuntra City trick), every interior seeded and themed: record stores, op shops, toy shops, book barns, video rental, pawnbrokers, milk bars, market stalls. Built on the proven house stack (three.js r175 vendored, plain JS, no build step) and the asset DNA of 90sDJsim + thriftgod. v1 is the system; the GODVERSE/BaseGod real-item content plugs in later.

v3.1 — THE FLIP: the town shows its best by default
The Friday-night layer soaked through alpha, beta, and the v3.0 release — so v3.1 flips it on by default, and the mature v2 flags flip with it. Boot the plain URL and each town seeds 2–4 venues (pub, band room, RSL) with a full seeded week of gigs, town-wide posters, and a Friday night that reads: a 4-piece band (trio + a seated drummer) with real instruments, a mixed crowd, an outdoor queue, a per-venue cover charge, muffled gig spill + walla and applause, town-wide streetlamp pools, and identity continuity — the ped you followed in is in the crowd. Plus weather, the tram, and the parallax interior-window shader, all live by default.
The covenant moved, it didn't disappear. ?classic=1 boots the exact v2 town — byte-identical
forever (synthetic golden 0x3fa36874, zero gig layer, zero fetch delta). That is the new frozen
regression target; the default boot is deterministic to the gig golden 0xb1d48ea1. Asset-free
(?noassets=1) composes with the default boot and stays silent-and-fine.
Flags — the four headliners are ON by default, each with a =0 opt-out; ?classic=1 is the
master off:
| flag | default | what |
|---|---|---|
?classic=1 |
off | the exact v2 boot — all four below off, byte-identical to the frozen baseline |
?gigs=0 |
on | the gig district — venues, week schedule, band/crowd/queue, cover, posters, night pass |
?weather=0 · ?tram=0 · ?winmap=0 |
on | seeded weather · the tram loop · the parallax interior-window shader |
?roster=v1 · ?pop=N |
stream | chunk-streamed citizen density is the baseline; ?roster=v1 restores the fixed roster |
?dig=0 · ?stock=real |
dig on | crate-riffle on record bins · real GODVERSE sleeves in the stock |
?live=1 · ?live=<url> |
off | tier 2 — live stock from the GODVERSE server (sold-in-the-real-shop means gone in the game). Opt-in by design: absent ⇒ byte-identical to tier 1, and the game never asks a question it has no reason to expect an answer to |
?noassets=1 · ?plansrc=osm · ?mute=1 · ?dbg=1 |
off | asset-free (zero network) · OSM plan source · silence · the window.DBG capture/soak harness |
?plansrc=osm&town=<key> |
— | boot a real Australian town: fixtures melbourne/katoomba/silverton, or a real OSM cache bendigo_real/castlemaine_real/fremantle_real/katoomba_real/newtown_real (ODbL, web/assets/towns/SOURCES.md). REAL ROADS: a cache with roads[] (schema v2) builds the CityPlan street graph from the town's actual OSM streets; without roads[] a cache marches onto synthetic avenues. Or just pick a town from the HUD selector — no URL needed |
v4.0 — THE REAL MAP: the towns are the product
23 real Australian towns — 1,210 real shops, every state and territory — on their actual streets. Not "inspired by": Fitzroy's shops sit on Fitzroy's roads, at their real positions, because the pipeline eats OpenStreetMap and marches it through the same CityPlan contract the procedural town uses. Pick one from the in-HUD selector and walk it. Everything built across v1–v3 comes along unchanged — the venues and their seeded week of gigs, the 4-piece band with the seated drummer, the crowd that follows you into the pub, the interiors behind every door, weather, the tram — because they all hang off the plan contract and never had to know the geography got real.
The towns run from meccas (Fitzroy, 160 shops) to the thin tail (12), at real retail density: the
secondhand heroes keep their footfall while the street around them gets ~4× busier — texture, never a
takeover. Venues bias to the retail heart. The tram only runs where it fronts a real high street (elsewhere
it was honestly "a highway bus", so it's fenced). Everything stays deterministic from the seed, silent
under ?noassets=1, and ?classic=1 still boots the exact v2 town, byte-identical forever (0x3fa36874).
The tour: docs/shots/release_v4/contact.html — the Fremantle hero, the
Fitzroy mecca, the thin tail (labelled honestly: the floor is shops-per-street-metre, and Toowoomba is
below it), the synthetic control, and the ?classic=1 covenant made visible. Charter:

v5.0-alpha — THE FIRST REAL CRATE: the shops get real too
v4 made the towns real. v5 makes the shops real — and the first one is standing.
Boot ?plansrc=osm&town=redhill_godverse&stock=real, walk down Musgrave Road into Monster Robot
Party (147 Musgrave Rd, Red Hill, Brisbane — a real record shop), and riffle its crate. The records in
it are that shop's real stock: 120 real records off its real point-of-sale, real covers, real titles,
real prices. Buy one and the wallet debits what the sticker says. It's gone for the session and back next
boot — because until the live tier lands, the crate is a file, not a shop's ledger.
Stock is a data tier now, exactly like assets — each rung fully playable, each degrading softly to the one below, so the game never depends on a server to be a game:
| tier | what | deterministic? |
|---|---|---|
| 0 · parody | seeded canvas sleeves (v1) — any boot, always works | yes — the QA baseline |
| 1 · static real | per-shop atlases baked from the shop's own POS | yes — atlases are files |
| 2 · live GODVERSE | ?live=1 — live stock off the real till: sell a record in the shop and it's gone from the game crate |
no — by design |
The offline law: the server enriches, never gates. ?noassets=1 still fetches zero bytes and plays
silent-and-fine; a shop whose atlas is missing falls soft to parody rather than borrowing someone else's
crate; and ?classic=1 still boots the exact v2 town, byte-identical forever (0x3fa36874). The
world stays seeded and golden-gated — only the stock inside it is data.
Provenance: item photos are each shop's own product shots, 🟢 in-house — flagged before any public
or commercial release, and every atlas carries that flag where the QA gate must print it. Real titles
and artists are an in-house amendment to the no-real-trademarks law, on the same footing. Nothing an
in-game purchase does touches real inventory — v5.0 ships sell-sandboxed by ruling; a real reservation
tier is chartered for v5.x, not assumed. Charter: docs/V5_REAL_SHOP.md ·
