That's some crazy stuff right there!

I was unaware of "flip"

I wonder if it's possible to discretize the warp and vary the color so that
maybe you can see what's going on better.  Maybe create an animation that lays
down each "step".

I've also noticed in my dabbling that POV-Ray is now so huge and packed with
tools and features that it's sometimes confusing to even know which variation of
a feature to use.  Surely there is much to be discovered in all the combinations
of things one has the option to use.

....and of course you couldn't figure it out --- that's the EVIL part of his
super brain!  ;)
