hypersphere_angle_test, a MATLAB program which calls hypersphere_angle() for the problem of describing the typical value of the angle between a pair of points randomly selected on the unit hypersphere in M dimensions. Since by symmetry, this will be zero, we instead look at the average of the absolute value of the dot product, and the corresponding angle. This starts out at 1 for dimension 1, and rapidly decreases as the spatial dimension increases.
