 * to all of those.

/**
 * @struct Mapped
 * @brief Infrastructure for a continuously-mapped value whose GPU geometry
 *        tracks it.
 *
 * The geometry function IS the primitive. Mapped provides only the
 * mechanism: a shared value carrier, a version counter, and a sync()
 * call that invokes the geometry function when the value changes.
 *
 * The geometry function decides everything about shape, topology, and
 * vertex layout. It can write from any source — mouse pixel coordinates,
 * microphone energy, another node's output, a tendency field, a computed
 * function of time — by whatever means the caller chooses. The common
 * geometry helpers in Geometry.hpp are illustrative, not idiomatic.
 *
 * Orchestration (node binding, buffer mapping, scheduler-driven update,
 * input capture) attaches externally by writing to state and calling
 * state->write(v). Mapped has no knowledge of or dependency on any
 * orchestration layer.
 *
 * @tparam T Value type.
