 * MASTER EQUATION MINIMALITY ANALYSIS

 * Current form:
 *   X(z) = sqrt(phi * F_n * P_n * base^n * Omega) * r^k * (1+z)^n_scale
 *
 * Questions to answer:
 * 1. Can we eliminate r and k since they're both ~1.05?
 * 2. Can we eliminate Omega since it's also ~1.05?
 * 3. Are phi, F_n, P_n all necessary or is one redundant?
 * 4. Is base^n really needed or just scaling?
 * 5. Is the sqrt necessary or artifact of dimension analysis?
