Orthographic globe view with back-side culling: northing sign term · case 01

Latitude lines bow the wrong way on a tilted globe.

ROOT CAUSE

The tilt term of the northing is added instead of subtracted.

THE FAILURE

The tilt term of the northing is added instead of subtracted.

Unsuccessful approach: The sign is right but the cos(lat0) factor on the first term is missing.

Case contract

Input [lon, lat, lon0, lat0] degrees; sphere R = 6371000 viewed from infinity above (lon0, lat0). cos c = sin(p0)sin(p) + cos(p0)cos(p)cos(dl); points with cos c < 0 are on the far side and return None. Otherwise x = R cos(p) sin(dl), y = R (cos(p0) sin(p) - sin(p0) cos(p) cos(dl)), rounded to 2 decimals.

Why this case matters

Globe widgets and inset locator maps draw only the visible hemisphere; wrong culling shows features through the planet.

HELD IN THE MEMBER ARCHIVE

The verified repair and its recorded checks are member-only.

This mechanism has 8 recorded checks per implementation. The open-access tier publishes the failure and the unsuccessful fix; the repaired source that passes every check, and the observations that prove it, are available to members.

Every case sharing this mechanism uses the same contract and the same repair, so this one record is held back for all of them.

Member access is invitation-based. Sign in with your invited account to inspect the repair.

Verification & scope

Stipulated deterministic toy contract on a bounded input domain; results are rounded as stated and no conformance with any published standard or library is claimed. This reproducer isolates one failure mechanism. Results cover the supplied fixtures. Variants within a family share a test contract and should remain grouped when constructing evaluation splits. Related mechanisms with a shared evaluation_group must also remain together; these controlled models are not independent production incidents.

Observations recorded using Python 3.12.14 at 2026-09-29T14:48:18.331232+00:00.
