words

words is a raw buffer viewed as a sequence of 32-bit words: indexing buffer[index] reads or writes one int. It is the same underlying memory a pointer addresses, retyped so the element size is a word instead of a byte — allocate the storage with words(count) (count 32-bit words) and bind it as words to index it that way. Reach for it when you need a flat integer array outside the ECS — a lookup table, a scratch grid — and want plain integer indexing without the growable-slice header. Like all raw buffers it is unbounded and unchecked, so keep your own length.
