But checking if the variable has been calculated each time the function runs, wastes CPU cycles, which counteracts the purpose of precalculating the variables to save resources.

The `PrecalculatingInitializer` class was intended to wrap each function, keeping all related code together. It is automatically instantiated by the constructor of the class containing these functions. The `PrecalculatingInitializer` class initializes each instance it finds in a registry, such as an array, so it doesn't needs more code, like a function in a class does not needs more code to tell the class that it has a function. I don't know if that can be done without explicitly adding the class to a register, and It's probably a bad idea, but I'm asking if there is a better way.
