Been thinking about how IFC models flatten everything about this building into geometry and metadata. The texture, the patina, the way light catches the aggregate — none of that survives the model.

Three conversations this week about graph traversal and every time the same pattern emerges: the naive recursive approach works until it doesn’t, and when it stops working the dataset is already too large to refactor easily. Start with iterative. Always.
