That might be a different kind of fish indeed. Been a long time since I
last used isosurfaces so my question might be irrelevant; are black
holes also occurring with iso-CSG objects/height_fields, developed by
Christoph Hormann and ABX? I think that might be your answer. Look at:

As you are a Canadian, I suppose you have seen these examples in the
permafrost regions of Canada (Mackenzie, Nunavut etc.) - I have heard
similar stories from Siberia! When the uppermost few metres of
otherwisely permanently frozen soil thaw during summer and turn into
soft mud, many buildings (except those built on concrete pillars
reaching into the perennial permafrost) "float" in that mud and
gradually distort by their own weight...
See you in Khyberspace!

at all.
In that school case, it looks like someone confounded feet for meters
for the spacing of the support beams under a wooden floor in an
otherwise concreete construction.... They just "forgot" the halways for
the second and third floors classes and needed to patch something fast a
few day before the inauguration.
Nevertheless, I've seen some bits of the building code for area having
permafrost.
It include insulated floor, more that the walls..., broad air pipes
oriented to the dominant wind passing under the building, stilt building
raising the whole building over 1m over the ground or deep fundations
going to the rock bed.

The shapes from Christph are "functions" that are differenced to a new function
and this will build the isosurface. So it is not exactly a difference between a
object and a isosurface.
