The symmetry of a sphere

Electrons prefer well-spaced, symmetric points because those points allow stable, repeatable residence around the nucleus.

Volume II Companion Notes & Reader Questions


This page collects clarifications, reader questions, and brief notes related to Volume II of the How Atoms Form Molecules series.

It is not required reading.
Think of it as a quiet margin where ideas can stretch a little.

This page will evolve as readers raise new questions or as later volumes clarify earlier ideas.

Clarifications & small notes

  • Clarifications here address points that readers have asked about after reading.
  • None of these are required to follow the main text.

(This section will grow slowly and intentionally.)

Common reader questions

  • Is this a new model, or a reinterpretation of existing ideas?  
    This work is a geometric reinterpretation of well-established quantum behavior. It does not replace quantum mechanics. It aims to make its outcomes more visually and intuitively accessible.
  • Are electrons following literal paths?
    No. The arcs and routes described are organizing geometries. They describe constraints, not tracked particles.
  • Why emphasize geometry so strongly?
    Because geometry is how symmetry, separation, and stability quietly enforce order without instruction.

What Volume II does—and does not—try to do

Volume II focuses on how electrons manage energy and motion.

It does not fully derive orbital shapes.

That work begins in Volume III

Questions or comments

Reader questions help shape future clarifications and later volumes.
