    "Maximal" as a term is referring to maximum number of external wave fronts before an electron is displaced from its orbital

    Not to be confused with maxima, although that would have technical basis as well, as an electron originates in some way from one side of a wavefront maxima, the other side having opposite properties

    To go past maximal would imply that it has reverted across some earlier point of maxima on that wave front, and thus some quantum number must change
