If you are going to take that into consideration, then it might be more appropriate to consider them to be virtual neutrons, so you would be looking at a cluster of neutrons, and my previous point still stands, albeit in a different guise. The basic point is that you have a cluster of like objects, as opposed to clusters of two dissimilar types (nuclei). > >I think the magic number preference will still be valid, even with bound >hydrinos. Perhaps. What values will clusters of magnets take by preference? (Considering that they pair up and may be arranged both next to one another as well as above and below). > >The failure of CQM to be relevant in this niche, as it should be otherwise, >is that it neglects the implications of larger units than the hydride.
