One other important thing that I had never thought of, but the ShaderToy folks
have brought up:
No values in the (s)rgb triplets should ever be zero.
First, because there are almost never absolutely black objects in real life
("vanta black")
and second, because there is no way to modify it with a multiplier.
If you had a red value of one millionth, you could multiply that by a million to
get 1. But anything multiplied by zero is always zero.
So maybe we can set some min() threshold value that doesn't really register on a
monitor (1/256).

I think if we bounce it back and forth a few times, we can get the important
points hammered out for a prototype texture.
