VR/AR people… is there a term for the virtual material out of which virtual environments can be said to be built? Like with atoms I’d say “wall of concrete” … I’d say”wall of X”? If not we should make up a term. I propose renderium or rendrial or rendril…

they're meshes, or geometry? everything in 3D is hollow, flat faces. they're not really 'made' of anything except the textures and material they're wrapped in

but then from inside you'd just say 'wall of concrete' to refer to the thing that has the concrete texture and is supposed to _be_ concrete. having another word that refers to an abstraction layer is already outside of the matrix?
