Implemented a double helix #DistanceEstimate based on an idea from #FragM's `Knot.frag` (not knighty's, the other one, based on forum posts by DarkBeam).
Not sure how to #fractal-ize it, wanted to turn it into a #helix of helices of helices etc. Nor how to make it a single helix (I only managed to colour the two halves individually...).
I think each strand is an Archimedean Serpentine, but I'm not 100% sure on terminology..
