Now I can't really find if and where Trans gets defined as anything but an
Identity matrix in Line 776.

The sor gets created "at the origin" / around the y-axis,
so I'm now presuming that when we do
sor { ... translate <x, y, z>}

that the sor gets created and evaluated in its default position, and then all of
the results just get filtered through the translate transform as a
post-intersection process.

And if THAT's the case, then why do we have all of the transforms in the various
functions when we don't need them?

But then again, I could be missing something, and be completely wrong.
