Well, it might have helped a bit to have an error message similar to "domain
error in atan2" or "divide by zero error", etc. before it shit the bed.

I'm still struggling with getting a good transition from the isosurface volume
coordinates to uv coordinates via the intermediate latitude/longitude values.

While what posted looks good superficially, I have a hole at the South pole, and
likely a similar issue at the North pole.

In my head, I should be able to take every <x,y,z> and convert it to a lat/long
pair (artificially constraining them to the proper domain) [maybe this is where
the error is], and then there should  be a 1:1 [Abelian?] mapping between that
and the 0-1 domain of the x and y of the image map (the u,v).

Here's a plot of my uv's calculated from a cube from -3, +3
