 178/-- Are RS and axion compatible?
 179
 180    Yes! Even with 8-tick quantization, an axion could exist.
 181    The axion would oscillate around θ = 0 (discrete minimum).
 182    This gives axion dark matter with modified dynamics. -/

 189/-- How to distinguish RS from axion?
 190
 191    1. **Axion detection**: If axion found, confirms axion solution.
 192       But RS could still be correct (both mechanisms).
 193
 194    2. **θ discreteness**: Very hard to test directly.
 195       Would need to measure θ at 8-tick precision.
 196
 197    3. **Neutron EDM improvement**: Current limit is 10⁻¹⁰.
 198       RS predicts θ = 0 exactly. Any deviation favors axion. -/
