+We can also connect our abstract order parameter to a physical picture of multipolar
+ordering.
+The U-5f electrons in URu$_2$Si$_2$ exhibit a moderate degree of localization [cite], which is
+reflected in partial occupancy of many electronic states. Motivated by the results of refs [cite],
+we assume that the dominant U state consists of $j = 5/2$ electrons in the U-5f2 configuration, which has 
+total angular momentum $J = 4$. Within the $J=4$ multiplet, the precise energetic ordering
+of the $D_{4h}$ crystal field states still remains a matter of debate [cite]. In a simple
+framework of localized $j = 5/2$ electrons in the 5f2 configuration, our phenomenological theory
+is consistent with the ground state being the B$_{1g}$ crystal field state with

+The result of non-zero $\eta$ is a nematic distortion of the B1g orbitals, alternating along the c-axis.

 The coincidence of our theory's orthorhombic high-pressure phase and \urusi's
 \afm\ is compelling, but our mean field theory does not make any explicit
 connection with the physics of \afm. Neglecting this physics could be
