===Imamura & Hadley Collaboration=== Motivated especially by the numerical study of unstable nonaxisymmetric modes provided in [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2011Ap%26SS.334....1H Paper I] and [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2014Ap%26SS.353..191H Paper II] of the [[#See_Also|Imamura & Hadley collaboration]], we have embarked on an effort to better understand what sparks the development of a wide range of complex eigenvectors in self-gravitating tori. Of particular interest are "P-", "J-", and "E-modes," such as the ones whose eigenfunctions are illustrated here in Table 1. (Click on a small image in the right-hand column to see a larger image.) Our initial attempts to construct fits to these eigenvectors empirically have been described in [[Appendix/Ramblings/AzimuthalDistortions#Analyzing_Azimuthal_Distortions|a separate chapter]]. We begin, here, a more quantitative analysis of these structures. <table border="1" cellpadding="8" align="center"> <tr> <td align="center" colspan="7"><font size="+1"><b>Table 1:</b></font> J-, P- and E-mode Model Parameters Highlighted in Paper II <p></p>[http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2014Ap%26SS.353..191H K.
