13. At least without in-plane magnetic fields.
14. One can then extend the analysis to show that coherences cannot excite each other by examining two equations with two coupled coherences and slow source terms.

21. Actually even Eq. is only invariant under real basis transformations and is not entirely compatible with the Kazarinov-Suris theory. This is enough for a qualitative illustration but not for quantitative calculations.
