CydandClaude Opus 4.8 7bd6af8c20 Readout: add the Tier-1 Pixel-Planes array section (§05)
Signal-chain Pixel-Planes stage flips to "simulated"; new section shows the
64x128 tile footprint the array lit for the object (18/50), the 26-byte
pixel-memory bit layout (Z24 + RGB), and states the validation + the honest
remaining gap (the compiled micro-code binary, still undecoded, that carries
the ground/sky).

<h2><span class="idx">05</span> The Pixel-Planes array, simulated</h2>
<p class="sub">This is the final stage in silicon — and it now runs in software. The
<span class="mono">PXPL5 IGC</span> is a region rasteriser: the screen splits into
<b>64 × 128 tiles</b>; every pixel carries a 26-byte bit-memory and an enable bit; all
pixels evaluate one linear tree in lockstep —
<span class="mono">eval_ltree(x,y,A,B,C) = (int)(x·A + y·B + C)</span>. A triangle becomes
three <b>edge trees</b> into the enable register, then <b>Z and R/G/B planes</b>
interpolated per pixel and z-buffered in pixel memory (<span class="mono">IGCOPS.C</span>).
Fed the captured surface, the model lights the tiles below and renders pixels that match our
reference rasteriser to within edge anti-aliasing — the array reproduced faithfully.</p>
