Trippy as balls

As someone interested in mathematics, what I found really interesting was the dual coordinates. From how you've described it, it seems like what you're doing is taking advantage of the manifold structure of hyperbolic space. A manifold is a type of space that, among other very jargon-y conditions, is what's called "locally Euclidean", meaning that for each point, you can find a neighborhood that is homeomorphic to Euclidean space (meaning basically that if you zoom in far enough it "looks like" Euclidean space). In these neighborhoods, we use what are called local coordinates to actually do stuff like calculus on the manifolds, and the local coordinates are how the local Euclidean condition is often used. It sounds like Unity is doing the exact same thing, especially since it's only valid for a small area around each point before you get distortions. This area of math is called differential geometry and studying hyperbolic space (i.e. negatively curved space) is actually what lead me to discover Hyperbolica and your channel!

Speedruns of this game are going to be insane

Instancing is where you set a single render state, and send 1 set of vertex data to the GPU, but you also send it a list of variations, a very typical example, is sending in a list transforms. Then for each item in that list, the vertex data is redrawn with the item from the list updated. From a performance perspective, this means you only sent the vertex data and change the render state and pipeline shaders once for however many draws were in the list, this also means command and draw queues only need to be synchronized twice (start and end) for the whole bundle (they typically sync more for things like fetch shaders), this also means in specialized cases that the gpu can parallelise, potentially drawing instance 23 and instance 24 at the same time if the gpu has appropriate capacity for parallel wave processing. It has a very specific use case but its also a very powerful tool

I'm a little unsure why material property blocks would break batching. Their point is to maintain batching. If you're using an SRP the SRP batcher handles batching for material instances using the same shader and will break when using MPBs, but the built in pipeline should be fine. You can use the frame debugger to see why Unity hasn't batched things together
