17. The tubes are in any one of a family of closed periodic Jeffery orbits around ẑ, with interactions dictating the distribution of such orbits (and hence the ODF) in the semidilute regime [M. Rahnama, D. L. Koch, and E. S. G. Shaqfeh, Phys. Fluids 7, 487 (1995)]. The full ODF can exhibit anisotropy in the y-z plane, but our measurements are insensitive to this.
