Particles and Culling

This section keeps whole simulations and draw lists on the GPU: particles living in a storage buffer, bodies attracting each other, and a shelf whose visible books a compute pass chooses. Counts stay modest for the shared GTX 1650, and figures are single frames captured after the simulation ran.
