Burst 1.8.31 docs scope FloatMode.Deterministic to 64-bit, Burst-compiled code with deterministic inputs; the Unity Physics 1.3.15 overview asserts determinism without conditions and does not link to the Burst scope; Havok Physics for Unity is documented as similar but not identical to Unity Physics. Bytes match producer pins.

Burst 1.8.31 docs scope FloatMode.Deterministic to 64-bit, Burst-compiled code with deterministic inputs; the Unity Physics 1.3.15 overview asserts determinism without conditions and does not link to the Burst scope; Havok Physics for Unity is documented as similar but not identical to Unity Physics. Bytes match producer pins. Curator qualifications: Whether Unity Physics results are cross-platform identical is not stated by any page read (producer synthesis of a gap, preserved as gap). NaN/subnormal details beyond the quoted lines not re-read. Static reading of code/docs; no engine build, editor run or simulation. Limitations: Vendor docs only; Static reading of code/docs; no engine build, editor run or simulation. Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
