- We develop a phenomenological mean field theory of the hidden order phase in \urusi\ as a ``staggered nematic" order. Several experimental features are reproduced when the order parameter is a nematic of the $\Bog$ representation, staggered along the c-axis: the topology of the temperature--pressure phase diagram, the response of the elastic modulus $(c_{11}-c_{12})/2$ above the hidden-order transition at zero pressure, and orthorhombic symmetry breaking in the high-pressure antiferromagnetic phase. In this scenario, hidden order is characterized by broken rotational symmetry that is modulated along the $c$-axis, the primary order of the high-pressure phase is an unmodulated nematic state, and the triple point joining those two phases with the high-temperature paramagnetic phase is a Lifshitz point.

\emph{Introduction.}
-\urusi\ is a paradigmatic example of a material with an ordered state whose broken symmetry remains unknown. This state, known as \emph{hidden order} (\ho), sets the stage for unconventional superconductivity that emerges at even lower temperatures.
-At sufficiently large hydrostatic pressures, both superconductivity and \ho\ give way to local moment antiferromagnetism (\afm) \cite{hassinger_temperature-pressure_2008}.
-Despite over thirty years of effort, the symmetry of the \ho\ state remains

Recent \emph{resonant ultrasound spectroscopy} (\rus) measurements examined the thermodynamic discontinuities in the elastic moduli at T$_{\mathrm{HO}}$ \cite{ghosh_single-component_nodate}. The observation of discontinues only in compressional, or $\Aog$, elastic moduli requires that the point-group representation of \ho\ is one-dimensional. This rules out a large number of order parameter candidates \brad{cite those ruled out} in a model-free way, but still leaves the microscopic nature of \ho~ undecided.

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
