The significance <strong>of</strong> the volume element is similar to that in Euler space. In Euler space,<br />
the volume element increases in magnitude as the second angle increases such that the<br />
density <strong>of</strong> a distribution € <strong>of</strong> random (uniformly distributed set <strong>of</strong>) orientations first<br />
increases with distance from the origin and then decreases again, resulting in a sort <strong>of</strong><br />
doughnut-shaped density variation.<br />
