Dr. Baelheit,
We may have come upon a breakthrough in the formula completion process.
As you can see, I first modified the formula according to the suggestions you offered. However, the results, when viewed in terms of the formula itself, only barely lacked the fluidity necessary to account for the degree of modulated polarity shift. Upon adding an extra variable which seemingly neither of us had previously considered – lanthanide contractions, interestingly enough – the numbers began to make sense. My results from this attempt fit into the rest of the formula with ease, as far as I am able to tell. My attached analysis expounds on the details of what I have found.
It is of importance that this be thoroughly reviewed before we allow ourselves excessive excitement. Should it prove to truly be the key to completing the formula, we will have little further work to do, if any. At that point, any quantity of excitement will be a safe and logical reaction.
