52/-- The experimental bound on |θ|:
53 From the neutron electric dipole moment (EDM).

57/-- The neutron EDM scales with θ:
58 d_n ≈ θ × (10⁻¹⁶ e·cm)
59
60 Experimental limit: d_n < 3 × 10⁻²⁶ e·cm
61 Therefore: |θ| < 3 × 10⁻¹⁰ -/

66/-- Why is θ ≈ 0?
67
68 θ could be any value in [0, 2π).
69 Probability of |θ| < 10⁻¹⁰ by chance: ~ 10⁻¹¹

71 This seems extremely fine-tuned! -/

76/-- The θ term is a "topological" term:
77 It counts instanton number.
78 Each instanton adds Δθ = 2π to the phase.

81 - Bare QCD θ
82 - Contribution from quark masses (arg det M) -/
