Can you test this in POV-Ray and HGpovray38 to see if you get an error?

I did a quick spreadsheet calculation. Aside from some numerical/binary

Nice. That was an interesting read - thanks!

I dabbled with all of that.
It was "wrong" at first - since sin is opposite over hypotenuse, and y would be
the cathetus opposite the angle, it should be y/vlength instead of sqrt(
x*x+z*z)/vlength ... yes?
Which is kinda just what I had before, only using asin with a 90-deg phase
shift.
And I got the exact same result.
Which was disappointing at first, but which I recognized held promise.
So, after coffee, shower, and kicking back for a bit (it was NOT a nap...) I
realized that if, perhaps, it wasn't the math - then it had to be what the math
was mapping.
[TdG will back me up on the merits of considering these things behind closed
eyes.]
If the image was getting mapped correctly, but there were extra pixels in the
image... And sure enough, comparing the elevation map to a different image map
showed that there is indeed a strip of pixels where there ought be none.
Damn it.
Stupid assumptions...
"We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time...."
Thanks for spinning me around in this circle one more time, Jerome. :)
Now maybe I can make some actual meaningful progress...

As you said, just close your eyes... ;-)
When I do, I see that hole in Antarctica you showed us, to be the lost
harbour of lost Lemuria. They just wait (with the help of climate
change) for the ice to disappear and conquer the world again.

Don't be ridiculous. It's obviously the Antarctic Ice Wall that guards the
secret entrance to the interior of the Hollow Earth - where all the spaceships
fly out of.

I had understood that Lemuria guarded /that/ entrance. Probably fake
news casually dropped by the usual suspects... :-)

Aye, Skull and bones, the Masons, the Illuminati, the Knights Templar, the
Knight of Malta, the Smithsonian, the Jesuits, the City of London, the Vatican,
the Illuminati... But we're not believing their transparent attempts at
misinformation and misdirection now, are we?
