/** This recursive function finds a third point, to form a triangle with two given ones.
 * Note that this function is for the starting triangle.
 * The idea is as follows: A sphere with fixed radius is (almost) uniquely defined in space by three points
 * that sit on its boundary. Hence, when two points are given and we look for the (next) third point, then
 * the center of the sphere is still fixed up to a single parameter. The band of possible values
 * describes a circle in 3D-space. The old center of the sphere for the current base triangle gives
 * us the "null" on this circle, the new center of the candidate point will be some way along this
 * circle. The shorter the way the better is the candidate. Note that the direction is clearly given
 * by the normal vector of the base triangle that always points outwards by construction.
 * Hence, we construct a Center of this circle which sits right in the middle of the current base line.
 * We construct the normal vector that defines the plane this circle lies in, it is just in the
 * direction of the baseline. And finally, we need the radius of the circle, which is given by the rest
 * with respect to the length of the baseline and the sphere's fixed \a RADIUS.
 * Note that there is one difficulty: The circumcircle is uniquely defined, but for the circumsphere's center
 * there are two possibilities which becomes clear from the construction as seen below. Hence, we must check
 * both.
 * Note also that the acos() function is not unique on [0, 2.*M_PI). Hence, we need an additional check
 * to decide for one of the two possible angles. Therefore we need a SearchDirection and to make this check
 * sensible we need OldSphereCenter to be orthogonal to it. Either we construct SearchDirection orthogonal
 * right away, or -- what we do here -- we rotate the relative sphere centers such that this orthogonality
 * holds. Then, the normalized projection onto the SearchDirection is either +1 or -1 and thus states whether
 * the angle is uniquely in either (0,M_PI] or [M_PI, 2.*M_PI).
 * @param NormalVector normal direction of the base triangle (here the unit axis vector, \sa FindStartingTriangle())
