Hello.
I have calculated the mass of an example of an heterogeneous object using a
function that defines the density of an object in each point in space, and
integration to obtain it's mass.
You can see it here:

I believe that this model can give support to most types of heterogeneous
density objects, and can be easily calculated with arbitrary precision by a
computer. Support for non-continuous densities may also be easy to
implement alongside this model by using functions with different
definitions for different regions.
However, as I do not yet understand how rtweight currently behaves, I do
not know if this model is viable and what other considerations one needs to
make.
I'll await feedback on this model, and help on understanding the source
code and current behaviour.
Mario.
