here are tentative queries for next/previous and adjacent edges. with some assumptions about restrictions on the graph structure
Common Lisp code that defines an example mesh with two triangles, and Datalog queries for finding next/previous and adjacent edges in the structure. with example output

here is the graph data structure (triplestore) i have. it is optimised for certain lookups/queries. if i represent triangles with properties i don't really need to add anything to the data structure. i only need to enforce some restrictions. eg. no more than two properties (faces) per vertex pair
common lisp code illustrating a graph data structure/"triplestore" used to store a mesh with two faces/triangles. the structure contains enough info to look up half-edge like queries (next edge, previous edge, opposite edge, edge face). with some performance penalties, probably

some things are upside-down today. other things are just down
simplistic 3d rendering. distorted white/magenta boxes in an open space. the "ceiling" is fragmented with a reflective surface. bright white volumetric light from the distance in the middle left

pretty good visibility today
many stretched and distorted boxes in white and magenta in a large open space. light coming in from above and reflective ice/water below

i would not stick my hand in there.
3d rendering of a simplistic tall blocky structure with deep dark holes/openings. reflective floor. bright light from above.

always apply the appropriate amount of geometry
simplistic 3d rendering. open abstract landscape made with distorted blocks. mirror floor where we see a grid of white lights in the ceiling. the light is bright and foggy

our ticket with IT was updated. the status has changed from "ticket is received" to "ticket is unknowable". so not today, i guess
simplistic 3d rendering. camera is under some large stairs (maybe) and we look out into a strange foggy boxy landscape. reflective floor. white panels in ceiling visible in floor reflection

the white panels in the ceiling are RGB programmable. however, there is a problem with the drivers; and we still haven't heard back from IT
abstract blocky landscape with reflective floor. we see square white lights reflected in the floor. camera is in shade, but outside the shade there is dense foggy light

time for abyss time
3d render. stylistic/abstract landscape with simple smooth shapes. shiny+reflective cyan floor. hazy light

all orbs (and suspected orbs) have been cleared out. we remind everyone that bagels are no longer restricted in the temporary exclusion zones
rendering of an abstract futuristic city corner with white shiny buildings w/out windows. diffuse volumetric light

another shot from the expedition. excuse the image quality. the intern only brought the old digital SLR. apparently it has a more satisfying shutter sound
abstract blocky geometry with a white sphere emitting bright light hidden behind it. we see reflections in all edges. the scene has a pink/purple tint from the light and a reflective wall

the intern has been exploring today; and just sent this. from one of the uncharted departments:
we appear to be inside a cavernous area with light shining in from the upper left. the colours are magenta, purple and bright white. geometry is simplistic

suspected orb sighted near hovering cube #11. proceed with caution
a bright red-white-ish light streaming out from behind a cube. reflected in ceiling and floor

everything seems fine and normal and fine.
opengl preview window with and abstract pattern of cmy polygons. it is a "city block" seen from above with incorrectly identified mutually oriented faces

we are required to operate the giant sphere at no less than 30 % luminosity; rumours abound as to why
a bright orange ball of light floating above a field of scattered white boxes mimicking a city. the ground is reflective magenta.

we are having a big sphere installed, and the intern is making a spreadsheet with all the things we have to check. for safety.
i giant glowing sphere on a stick towering above a "city" made of dark blocks. light is reflected from the giant sphere and there is foggy light

NOTE: we are transitioning to UV spheres across all departments. for safety.
a red uv sphere safely impaled on central columns and trapped between two panels of smaller boxes. CL code for making a uv sphere visible in editor below

here is a test to show indirect volume light. both in the reflections, and in the light that passes through the magenta windows
a central line of columns emit light symmetrically around a mirror plane. panels with windows line both sides. visible volume light on both sides of windows, and in reflections

remember that 100% of all accidents happen
two panels made of smaler rectangles extend from the ceiling into a reflective floor. we see light streaming in to the central area from behind the panels. not a single orb in sight.

we strongly suggests staring into the abyss for at least twelve minutes whenever you hear the hourly ding. or just whenever
two panels extend into a bright reflective surface. the panels are part glass and we see light streaming through in white an magenta

note that it has been several days since the last orb incident
we look up into a structure made from rectangular blocks. some blocks are black. and some are glass (white/magenta). reflective ceiling and floor. volumetric light

here is the same scene with volume light off. everything else is the same. this takes ~16 min to render at the same res. (4k^2)
very dark version of the original render. we see some sprinkles of light from white strips of light behind the walls. but it's hard to make out details

the alternative office of geometry will be open at normal angles tomorrow.

(always observe safety procedures)
unedited rendering. an inverse u shape constructed from rectangular black blocks. some blocks are made of white, cyan or magenta glass. light streams in from left and right. reflective base

time for some coffee
glassy faceted surface surrounded on three sides by a tiling of boxes. most boxes are dark. some ar glass. volume light comes in through the glass
