Thank you for giving it a go Une! I can make it better wrt a different 
way of programming. This tends to overwhelm the cpu with computation and 
the use of the garbage collector. Wrt GC, the JavaScript engines tend to 
create new object for every array passed to a function. For instance, I 
can pass two 3d points and a radius like this wrt the style of my 
current code:

foo([-1, 0, 0], [1, 0, 0], 1);

Each array index is mapped to (a[0] = x), (a[1] = y) and (a[2] = z).

This will create two damn arrays for each call! And those go into the 
GC. Read here for some further information:

Also, it can burn CPU because DLA points never die off! I need to allow 
them to die off and leave the per-field-line segment vector field 
summation. The more points, the slower it goes. I wonder if changing the 
color of the field lines to grey, or some color that designates turning 
"brown/yellow", or the interpolation of the death cycle wrt specific 
colors. The act of death would take pressure off the core field logic 
wrt reducing iterations.
