       coordinates have close floating-point values).  We use
       these to determine "biomes".  The four parameters
       represent seed, octaves, scale, and persistence. For
       an explanation of how these parameters affect
       the resulting noise function, see
       https://libnoise.sourceforge.net/glossary/index.html#perlinnoise

       for world generation (whether chosen by the user, chosen randomly, etc.)

/* The world is built up by a series of layers, with each layer thought of as a function
   from coordinates to cell values.  The first layer is bottommost.
   The layers are combined coordinatewise according to the semigroup operation for
   cells.

   'mask b e' takes the value of 'e' where 'b' is true, and is empty elsewhere.

   '{x1, x2, ...}' specifies the value of a cell with a list of contents.  A cell
   can have at most one terrain value, and at most one entity, which are disambiguated
   by name (though one can also write e.g. '{entity: tree}' or '{terrain: dirt}' to
   disambiguate).

   'hash' is a special variable which takes on the value of a murmur3 hash applied
   to the coordinates; it can be used to obtain non-coherent randomness (i.e.
   random values such that nearby values are not correlated).

   'x' and 'y' are special variables which always take on the x- or y-value of the
   coordinates.
