The plain-English version
A representation of traversable space used by navigation systems to plan movement through an environment.
Why it matters
It helps separate where an agent may travel from how the agent follows the resulting route.
Let’s make it click
An enemy plans a route around walls using the walkable surface, then movement code follows that path.
Vibe Bro’s heads-up
A valid planned path does not guarantee movement succeeds when dynamic obstacles, body sizes, or locomotion limits differ.

Supported: Navigation meshes describe traversable areas, while physical body size and actual locomotion can invalidate a naive path-following assumption.
