Together they point toward Pillar 1 (The Destination)—an ambient layer people eventually live inside rather than merely look at. Pose-free hierarchical memory (Infinite-World) claims 1000-frame coherence and object permanence. The Khronos glTF Gaussian Splatting Extension plus WebGPU pipelines cut payloads 30–50 % and enable progressive streaming. Spatial Webpage Decomposition offers a path from flat scrolling to walkable content layouts. Yet the human door remains unfinished. Mobile sorting still spikes, cognitive load on flat glass risks dizziness, and real-time viability on ordinary devices is unproven.
