It builds evidence for a resolution, including by means of theoretical and experimental scenarios, lay out and clarify the terminology, and take the first step towards the development of a more coherent nomenclature. To make the connection between the NMR spectrum and its properties transparent, it is paramount to define all the involved terms precisely. This approach concurrently serves to explain why the QM-based analysis of NMR spectra is the ultimate solution to this apparent nomenclatural conundrum -as it applies in our current understanding of nuclear physics.
