140/-! ## Why Not θ = π? -/
141
142/-- Both θ = 0 and θ = π have J-cost = 0.
143 Why is θ = 0 selected over θ = π?
144
145 1. **Quark masses**: θ_eff = θ + arg det M_q
146 If M_q is real and positive, θ_eff = θ
147 Stability selects real positive M_q.
148
149 2. **Electroweak contribution**: CKM phase contributes.
150 This breaks the θ = 0 vs θ = π degeneracy.
151
152 3. **8-tick asymmetry**: Phase 0 is distinguished. -/

161 **Axion**:
162 - Requires new particle (not yet detected)
163 - Continuous relaxation to θ = 0
