Noise Sphere

A mapping of random number triples to points in spherical coordinates according to

			(1)
			(2)
			(3)

in order to detect unexpected structure indicating correlations between triples. When such structure is present (note that this does not include the expected bunching of points along the -axis according to the factor  in the spherical volume element), numbers may not be truly random.
