Could you build this?
No HKTex is an advanced computer graphics and differential geometry research codebase implementing heat kernel textures and geodesic Gaussian methods on 3D meshes.
What it would actually take: Requires implementing discrete Laplace-Beltrami operators, heat method geodesic distance solvers, and custom CUDA/C++ shaders for geodesic surface filtering on non-Euclidean manifolds. A real implementation depends on graduate-level knowledge of differential geometry, numerical PDE solvers, and GPU surface rendering pipelines.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a model & infra tool for Fintech yet.
