test_consistent_approach.py
Tests the spin-tether model using CONSISTENT parameters throughout.
This reveals whether the "failure" at element 71 is real or just
a methodological artifact.
Two approaches tested:
1. Always use 1s parameters (like elements 1-70 in original)
2. Always use valence parameters (like elements 71+ in original)
