What Buddy can notice from the platform he finds himself in, is that the entirety of village is roughly separated into four "levels", and he is currently on the highest one. The entire structure seems symmetrical, with the tap root system of the tree above being the axis of symmetry, but the platforms are spread unevenly, creating almost a spiral that descends down.
There is no clear separation between the 'levels', however the general shapes and the amount of trinkets and decorations give you a pretty good idea:
- Highest contains the largest houses. Presumably they belong to the elders of the village and perhaps others who are yet to show themselves. Homes appear crude at a glance, as if they were only spaces that were retrofitted as a living space, but without exception they are all somehow unique, shaped into the forms that fit with the general feel of the four thrones you can notice in the middle of the platform.
- Second one consists of multiple platforms, each housing a bowl that collects the miasma. Each of them overflows constantly, but it's only to be expected when its source is infinite. The bowls seem to be more like decorations than actual everyday use objects. Houses there... are not actual houses now that you think about. They are almost all buildings that are constantly open, with Sluagh going in and out. They appear to be places for socialising, though some might be public use workshops, as you notice one such building appears to be made of mirror polished wood, and a soft glow of the fire emanates from it.
- Third and the largest has basically no platforms - every single building there reminds you a bit of a wasps' nests, though some appear painted with crudely made paint, or maybe even not paint, but simply something coloured that will fade and peel off in a year, allowing the resident to redecorate their small little nest.
- Last 'level' is a single bulbous structure at the very bottom of the village, suspended from last of the roots.
It somehow feels important - as you look upon this whole structure and imagine it in the distance in front of you, it reminds you of an upside-down pine cone, each platform, each building and each little structural addition to the tree's root system allowing the miasma to always flow closer to the main root, with only a few occasional 'drops' being lost to air currents, dragged away from the structure.
And this entire form to direct the flow through this one last bulbous building.
