The fact that it requires exponential power to calculate a linear relationship suggests that size hits an asymptote, not that better efficiency would solve the problem. You can't clear the discontinuity out of a tangent curve and still have trigonometry.

div by zero isn't a hole you can fill through optimism. It is the abyss staring back at thee.
