This is not the function that you are implementing:

You are computing the interface
X+Y + Z = t
(You don't call cosine or sine, or compute X-Y.)
In general, it is a good idea to visualize the structure by looking at the
epsilon.h5 file with a plotting tool (usually using mpb-data, as described in
the data-analysis tutorial), to make sure it is the structure that you think it
is.
