Do Microcosmos's scaling benchmark (linear to ~500k particles on one L40S) and its four experimental results hold up against the primary paper's own figures?

Microcosmos avoids quadratic-scaling operations by design — local fluid updates and grid-based steric repulsion instead of pairwise checks — to reach GPU-scale populations
