I now suspect that when atoms become
excited, there rate of precession
does not change. It remains at
2, or 720 degrees of turn per
trip around the atom.

Two reasons at least stand out:
that one must turn an electron
through 720 degrees to flip it
(for some reason), and that apparently
doesn't change for excited atoms,
and these spin
figures from particle physics of
3/2, up to 13/2 according to Franz,
where there's this persistent 2 in
the denominator.

So I decided the rotations must increase,
and they have to be odd in order for
there to be two electrons per pathway.
Therefore 3/2, 5/2, 7/2....etc.

So I'm making a 3 rotation/2 precession
16-member ring, now, (because the Galaxy
Pattern completes at 16 members, and
presumably that's what I'm powering up to 3/2).
(Wish I still had that program someone
sent me way back for precessing spinning rings-
my computer died and I hadn't backed it up.)

And the first thing I notice is it uses all the same
nodes as the Galaxy Pattern. (OF course. :-) )

This is thanks to Franz
challenging me to explain excitation levels:
the pattern of 3/2 excitation should be complete
very soon. I need a name for it. Any suggestions?
