get_accreted_mass()

float MayaFlux::Nodes::Network::PhysicsOperator::get_accreted_mass

(

size_t

global_index

)

const

This particle's currently accreted mass.

Returns

1.0 (the seed value every particle starts at) before bonds have ever synced, or if global_index is out of range.

Populated by sync_bonds_from_claims, which is the only place mass moves: a satellite's mass transfers onto its current root every cycle it remains claimed and is never created or destroyed (see that method's own doc). Unlike ClaimAccumulateProcessor's GPU-side swallow_count, which ClaimInitProcessor wipes every cycle, this is a genuine permanent record of accumulated material, suitable for a growth effect that actually takes real time rather than saturating as soon as local density reaches steady state.
