This is a great deep dive. Most ASCII renderers feel "muddy" because they treat intensity as the only variable. Treating characters as structural embeddings (the 6D vector approach) is much closer to how our eyes actually perceive edges. It reminds me of how font hinting works at low resolutions. Truly impressive work on the contrast enhancement pass too.
