SHELL_SPAN

const SHELL_SPAN: Meters

How far one e-fold of real distance moves the compressed position.

Equal to NEAR_LIMIT, which makes the derivative exactly 1 at the boundary, so the mapping is C¹ and a body crossing into the near field neither jumps nor visibly changes its rate of approach. Four light-years compresses to about 5e7 m, which needs a logarithmic depth buffer but nothing more.
