wow is that a pile of ass

The good news is you no longer need to have 750 calcs

The bad news is I overlooked sqrt when making the system, it will be in next zip.

It looks like some crazy mutation of the pythag theorem. Im guessing it makes you face something relative to its position in a 3D space.
