+# NEXUS Performance & Hardware Requirements
+
+## Overview
+
+This document outlines the minimum and recommended hardware requirements for running The Nexus 3D world, based on the LOD (Level of Detail) system, texture auditing, and performance monitoring.
+
+## Performance System
+
+The Nexus now includes:
+
+1. **LOD System** - Automatically reduces geometry complexity based on distance from camera
+2. **Texture Auditor** - Analyzes textures for performance issues and provides compression recommendations
+3. **Performance Monitor** - Real-time stats.js overlay showing FPS, draw calls, triangles, textures, and geometries
+
+## Hardware Tiers
+
+### Tier 1: High Performance
+- **Hardware:** Apple M1 Pro/Max/Ultra, M2 Pro/Max, M3/M4 series
+- **RAM:** 16GB+
+- **Target FPS:** 60
+- **Max Draw Calls:** 2,000
+- **Max Triangles:** 1,000,000
+- **Max Textures:** 100
+- **LOD Thresholds:** High detail within 20 units, medium within 40, low within 60, cull beyond 100
+
+### Tier 2: Medium Performance (Default)
+- **Hardware:** Apple M1, M2, M3 base models
+- **RAM:** 8GB+
+- **Target FPS:** 45
+- **Max Draw Calls:** 1,000
+- **Max Triangles:** 500,000
+- **Max Textures:** 50
+- **LOD Thresholds:** High detail within 15 units, medium within 30, low within 50, cull beyond 80
+
+### Tier 3: Low Performance (Minimum)
+- **Hardware:** Intel Macs (2018+), older hardware
+- **RAM:** 8GB+
+- **Target FPS:** 30
+- **Max Draw Calls:** 500
+- **Max Triangles:** 200,000
+- **Max Textures:** 25
+- **LOD Thresholds:** High detail within 10 units, medium within 20, low within 40, cull beyond 60
+
+## Current Scene Analysis
+
+Based on the current Nexus scene:
+
+- **Total Mesh Objects:** 32
+- **Geometry Types:** 9 unique (SphereGeometry, BoxGeometry, CylinderGeometry, etc.)
+- **Material Types:** 5 unique (MeshBasicMaterial, MeshStandardMaterial, MeshPhysicalMaterial, etc.)
+- **Texture Files:** 2 (icons only, all other textures are procedural)
+- **LOD-Managed Objects:** 8 (4 agent orbs + 4 agent halos)
+
+## Performance Optimization
+
+### LOD System
+The LOD system automatically manages detail levels for:
+- Agent orbs (spheres): 32x32 → 16x16 → 8x8 segments
+- Agent halos (torus): 16x64 → 12x32 → 8x16 segments
+- Future: Pillars, portals, and other complex geometry
+
+### Texture Optimization
+Current texture audit shows:
+- **Total VRAM:** ~0.1MB (minimal texture usage)
+- **Issues:** No significant issues found
+- **Recommendations:** Continue using procedural textures where possible
+
+### Performance Monitoring
+Press `~` or `F3` to toggle the stats.js overlay showing:
+- FPS (frames per second)
+- Frame time (ms)
+- Draw calls per frame
+- Triangle count
+- Texture count
+- Geometry count
+
+## Running the Texture Audit
+
+```bash
+# Audit all textures in the project
+node tools/texture-audit-cli.js .
+
+# Save results to JSON
+node tools/texture-audit-cli.js . audit-results.json
+```
+
+## Performance Recommendations
+
+### For All Hardware:
+1. **Enable LOD system** - Automatically reduces detail for distant objects
+2. **Monitor with stats.js** - Use the overlay to identify bottlenecks
+3. **Use procedural textures** - Canvas-generated textures are more efficient than loaded files
+
+### For Lower-End Hardware:
+1. **Reduce post-processing** - Bloom and SMAAPass are disabled on "low" tier
+2. **Limit particle systems** - Ash storm disabled on "low" tier
+3. **Reduce ambient structures** - Disabled on "low" tier
+
+### For Developers:
+1. **Register new geometry for LOD** - Use `performanceSystem.registerForLOD()`
+2. **Audit new textures** - Run the texture audit before adding new assets
+3. **Monitor performance** - Check stats.js during development
+
+## Minimum Sovereign Hardware
+
+Based on current analysis, the minimum hardware for a sovereign Nexus instance:
+
+**Absolute Minimum:**
+- **CPU:** Any modern processor (Intel i5/AMD Ryzen 5 or Apple M1)
+- **RAM:** 8GB
+- **GPU:** Integrated graphics (Intel Iris, AMD Radeon, Apple GPU)
+- **Storage:** 1GB free space
+- **Browser:** Chrome 90+, Firefox 88+, Safari 14+, Edge 90+
+
+**Recommended for 60 FPS:**
+- **CPU:** Apple M1 or better
+- **RAM:** 16GB
+- **GPU:** Apple M1 GPU or dedicated graphics
+- **Storage:** 2GB free space
+- **Browser:** Latest Chrome or Safari
+
+## Future Optimizations
+
+1. **Texture Atlasing** - Combine multiple textures into single atlases
+2. **Instanced Rendering** - For repeated geometry (pillars, portals)
+3. **Occlusion Culling** - Don't render objects behind other objects
+4. **WebGL 2.0 Features** - Use compute shaders and transform feedback
+5. **WebGPU Migration** - Future-proof for next-generation graphics
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Low FPS
+1. Check stats.js overlay for bottlenecks
+2. Verify LOD system is active
+3. Reduce browser zoom level
+4. Close other browser tabs
+5. Update graphics drivers
+
+### High Memory Usage
+1. Run texture audit to identify large textures
+2. Reduce texture sizes or use compression
+3. Limit particle counts
+4. Check for memory leaks in browser console
+
+### Visual Artifacts
+1. Ensure textures are power-of-two dimensions
+2. Check material settings for transparency issues
+3. Verify LOD transitions are smooth
+4. Test on different browsers
