And of course, it was the actual dimension calculation
that was incorrect. You need to plot the log of the
number of boxes against the log of the boxsize for a
range of sizes, then fit a line against them and take
the slope. So it's a little more involved than just
a single function call.

And I misidentifed 'box counting' as 'box division'.
