Research direction

The issue does not name any files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the existing vector types and math functions in this C# library, then determine the scope needed for fixed, fixed2, fixed3, and fixed4 types and fixed-point deterministic computations.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I know that Burst is promising cross-platform floating point determinism in the future, but that's not only a high bar to cross (it's a problem almost nobody has solved before), it also limits the usability of deterministic computation to Burst compiled jobs.

Having general access to fixed point computations, be it 32 (Q16) or 64 (Q32) bit, could make it much easier to have universally available deterministic decimal computations.
