Remarks
Both trees are walked at once. A pair of boxes already farther apart than the closest pair of triangles found so far cannot hold a nearer pair, so the whole cross product beneath them is discarded without being looked at. That is what turns a comparison of every triangle against every other into something usable on a real mesh.
Two meshes that touch or pass through each other are at distance zero. An empty tree is infinitely far from everything, since it has nothing to measure to.
