rewrite the gradient assembler such as to demand the derivative of the _squared_ distance from the target space.  Unlike the distance itself, the squared distance is differentiable at zero

implement matrix assembly by simply returning the identity matrix.  This should a sort of projected gradient descent.  It is too late at night for me to compute the actual matrix
