We have seen that the mean-field theory of a $\Bog$ \op\ recreates the topology
of the \ho\ phase diagram and the temperature dependence of the $\Bog$ elastic
modulus at zero pressure. This theory has several other physical implications.
First, the association of a modulated $\Bog$ order with the \ho\ phase implies
-a \emph{uniform} $\Bog$ order associated with the \afm\ phase, and moreover a
-uniform $\Bog$ strain of magnitude $\langle\epsilon_\Bog\rangle^2=b^2\tilde
