So are you saying that electrons' orbits are irregular not only in their location in a single sphere, but also in their distance from the nucleus?

Yes, in a sense, electrons in some energy level don't have a fixed distance to the nucleus. But strictly speaking there are no such things as electron orbits, there are only wave functions giving you probability of location and momentum. The picture of a pointlike electron orbiting the nucleus is false

I am not prepared to invest in mathmatica just yet. I am going to try sage and gather all my notes. I have an old OCR program that works fairly well on handwriting. (It is all printed. I cannot read my own script.) As soon as I can put together a formal hypothesis I will present it. I am sure it will take some time. Maybe a month or two to get all my notes and organize all the math. If I cannot make it work at a black hole level then particles are definitely out. We shall see.

Oh of course, there are way cheaper alternatives that will do for your purposes! Im just used to Mathematica and need it for some specialized software.
