I went that path a bit, and my conclusions is that better button names
and tooltips would speed up the learning.

Maybe name it "To Goal Springs"? At first I was thinking goal had some
kind of internal springs... then after asking Jens, I got that it is
current shape to goal shape springs.

Which could be named ErrorMargin and a tooltip that says Runge Kuta
Solving Limit: the higher the faster but less precisse solution.
And once you grasp the idea, you can even paint a quick

springs to show each kind.
