With Cooper Pairs and with paired electrons, the attraction (magnetic
dipoles) seem to overcome the electrostatic repulsion. That must be the "or
not" option Robin has suggested.

Hi,
Since in this case we are talking about H or D Rydberg snowflakes, I think
the electrons are all in large planar Rydberg orbitals and this hexagonal
Rydberg snowflake would behave as a BEC. Because of that, if one of the
electrons were forced to take a different orbital, it may completely
disrupt the cluster. So I have been thinking about ways that the small
separation could occur that could work across an entire snowflake all at
once.
I have mentally postulated that as more and more "snowflakes" align and
stack, perhaps the magnetic moment forces along the axis of the aligned
atoms squeeze the layers together, just as 3 magnet disks stacked will
produce a greater axial field than 2 magnet disks. In the case of disk
magnets, as the number in the stack increases, at some point the axial
field will not continue to increase - because of the high permeability of
the magnetic material, the field will leak out the sides. It could be that
these highly anisotropic Rydberg snowflakes may not suffer that effect and
the axial magnetic field may continue to increase for a large number of
stacked layers.

The problem I have with this approach is that while the magnetic attraction
does
increase with additional layers, so does the electrostatic repulsion, and
electrostatic force is always greater than or equal to magnetic force (or
not?)
