  Yes, it basically works like this.
  However, if it only did this, the rendering of any simple scene with
radiosity would take ages (eg. with 100 samples and recursion level 4 it
would take 4^100 times longer, ie. about 10^62 times longer; which means
that the Sun would die before the rendering is ready).

  I have to go to class right now but I'll explain a little bit more when
I return and nobody else has already done it.
