Abstract
We show that the dinotor is sensitive to discrete energy level corrections to the continuum approximation for the density of states. These corrections do not destroy the metastability of the dinotor, but may produce a ‘magic number’ effect. New metastable configurations of the dinotor may also exist, possibly creating further difficulty identifying the dinotor as the cause of the anomalon effect.
