I could easily be mistaken, but AFAIK, radiosity takes only a few samples 
for many pixels (count) to speed up the render process and when finding the 
colour for a given pixel, finds the nearest calculated samples 
(nearest_count) on the same surface and does a weighted average. This is 
kinda hard to do when there are no surfaces (3d media). If I'm wrong, just 
say so and I'll shut up. ;-)
