20. We employ the notation and conventions introduced in Y. Tokura, D. G. Austing, and S. Tarucha, J. Phys. Condens. Matter 11, 6023 (1999).
21. Note that degeneracy in the level structure of either dot complicates this analysis. Indeed, the magnetic field data in Fig. 4 seem to indicate one instance of degeneracy at B = 0. However, asymmetry in the bare frequencies along perpendicular directions need be only of order 2% in order that the splitting of levels in a shell are comparable to the tunnel splitting. Thus, nondegenerate levels are a reasonable assumption.
22. inter is the exchange-modified interaction between the dots.
23. We note that if the distribution of t were given simply by the Porter-Thomas distribution [cf. T. A. Brody et al., Rev. Mod. Phys. 53, 385 (1981)], this ratio would instead be √2. However, we are presumably far from the ergodic regime.
24. i is the average anticrossing size for orbital i (averaged over J).
