 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
