We have about 10^42 positions to store.
The third root is 10^14.
Take a 1000^3 km crystal. You must store 100000 positions
at one millimeter. 100 at one micrometer. Maybe, the crystal was too
big.

Perhaps 99,999999% of the legal positions will never be
necessary to compute the tree. Than we can take a smaller cube.
