One way to look at it is this: it divides the world up into cubes, which 
are aligned with the origin. The evaluation point only affects which 
cube is chosen, the cube is not centered around the evaluation point. To 
get the final result, the values of the corners of the cube are weighted 
according to their distance from the evaluation point, and added 
together.

Not yet...I want to clean it up a bit first, and maybe get it to be a 
bit more functional (a user specifiable number of samples, for one 
thing).

It works on any pattern.
