# Geohash Coloring Skill

GF(3) colored geohashes for hierarchical spatial indexing with deterministic color derivation.

## Trigger
- Geohash encoding/decoding
- Hierarchical spatial clustering
- Location-based coloring schemes
- Privacy-preserving location representation

## GF(3) Trit: +1 (Generator)
Generates colored spatial identifiers from coordinates.

## Geohash Basics

Geohash encodes lat/lon into a string where:
- Longer = more precise
- Prefix = parent cell
- Adjacent cells share prefixes

```
Precision | Cell Width | Cell Height
    1     |  5,009 km  |  4,992 km
    2     |  1,252 km  |    624 km
    3     |    156 km  |    156 km
    4     |     39 km  |     19 km
    5     |      5 km  |      5 km
    6     |    1.2 km  |    0.6 km
    7     |    153 m   |    153 m
    8     |     38 m   |     19 m
    9     |      5 m   |      5 m
```

## Cat# Integration

This skill maps to **Cat# = Comod(P)** as a bicomodule in the equipment structure:

```
Trit: 0 (ERGODIC)

Poly Op: ⊗
Kan Role: Adj
Color: #26D826
```

### GF(3) Naturality

The skill participates in triads satisfying:
```
(-1) + (0) + (+1) ≡ 0 (mod 3)
```

This ensures compositional coherence in the Cat# equipment structure.
