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. -/

207/-- RS solution to strong CP:
208
209 1. **8-tick quantizes θ**: Only πk/4 allowed
210 2. **J-cost selects θ = 0**: Minimum J-cost
211 3. **No new particles needed**: Uses existing structure
212 4. **Compatible with axion**: Both could be true
213 5. **Predicts θ = 0 exactly**: Testable -/
