Beyond the general look of places or particular constructed tells, I wonder if the model is taking any hints from analemma type patterns or latitude by the sun position (e.g. https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/UsefulNotes/TheLongitudeProblem https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/UsefulNotes/TheLongit... ). Cryptonomicon's use of that problem came to mind.
