A further improvement is to realize that once the particle is a significant distance from the aggregate, the minute detail of its movement becomes irrelevant. For any moving particle, there is an even probability for it to reach any point on a circle centred on its current position. Thus it is possible to add another region between the aggregate and rkill in which the particle takes steps long enough to land it back in the normal movement region in a random direction.
