Move the ship. Count the records.

Every container is a named entity, a child of the ship in the transform hierarchy. When the ship moves, does every container have to say so?

The comparison

Two ways to publish motion

Naive: every container republishes its global pose each tick.
4D-ID: children never republish when only the parent moved. Consumers compose position from the hierarchy.

Sail

Containers aboard: 1,200

Each container carries a real 4D-ID minted in your browser. A crane lift is a re-parent: the container leaves the ship, keeps its name, and publishes once.

Why it matters

A bus with fifty passengers is one record. A container ship is one record. A fleet of ten thousand named things costs what it moves, not what it contains. This is change locality, and it is why identity scales to a planet.
