title: Robust nuclear observables and constraints on random interactions
abstract: The predictions of the interacting boson model two-body random ensemble are compared to empirical results on nuclei from Z = 8-100. Heretofore unrecognized but robust empirical trends are identified and related both to the distribution of valence nucleon numbers and to the need for and applicability of specific, nonrandom interactions. Applications to expected trends in exotic nuclei are discussed.
