difference {
sphere { ... }
box { ... }
}
is the same as
intersection {
sphere { ... }
box { ... inverse }
}
The sphere has a bounding box of CENTER-RADIUS to CENTER+RADIUS.
The box _would_ normally have a bounding box of CORNER1 to CORNER2, but
since it's inverted, it has a bounding box of -INFINITY to +INFINITY. (*)
The intersection has a bounding box equal to the intersection between
the sphere's bounding box and the box's bounding box.
The intersection of any finite range A and an infinite range B is equal
to the finite range A.
Thus, the intersection has a bounding box of CENTER-RADIUS to
CENTER+RADIUS, just like the sphere.
