	To the last first. Just something I want to play with. I posted
it here as in the past there has been some interest using POV for
modeling equations. 

	As to converging to the same result, it doesn't appear to do
that by the images I have run. That is why my next step is an
animation. 500, 1000, 2000, and 5000 interations are all
different but all look the same, sort of like getting closer to a
fractal. Note noise is added to each averaging result. 

	OTOH: there may be a bug in the random number generator. :( But
then it is test for generators. :) 

	I'll be playing with more interesting things than averaging
after I get some experience with it.
