Abstract
We evaluated hierarchical spatial aggregation for three-dimensional perception under 35% point-cloud sparsity. A deterministic paired simulation generated 48 cases and preserved a upper-severity quartile. Mean geometry recall changed from 0.520 to 0.562; the paired difference was +0.042 (95% interval +0.040 to +0.044). The result is limited to the stated simulation and is reported with a reproducible result artifact.
