    The key difference between the quantum model and the classical toy model is that there are only 2I+1 possible values for m, leading to the discrete splitting of energy. We could increase the value for I, so that there are lots of values m can take. In this way, the spacing between the possible orientations for the nucleus will get smaller and it will resemble more of a continuous system, as we would have in the classical model.
