Pondering this sort of research brings to mind the role of epicycles in explaining geocentric planetary orbits.

No.

Each orbital can hold two electrons; one spin up, the other spin down.

The energy levels are denoted first by energy level, that’s the 1, 2, 3.
Then by subshell (orbital angular momentum), that’s the s, p, d, f,...

At the higher energy levela someimes the higher orbital angular momentum, are higher energy than the lowest angular momentum of the next shell. Those are the transition elements on the periodic table.

Go look up Aufbau process in a General Chem textbbok for details; the actual calculation of the energy levels involves quantum mrchanics, more specifically electron structure theory, and is beyond the scope of this comment.

Large Bosons make me Ferm like iron.

OK, OK it was a long time ago, so there.

Paraparticles are what results after a Parachute explodes.

Good grief!
"...traditional binary classification of particles into bosons and fermions."

DEI strikes Physics again & again & again...
Now they demand that every boson and fermion is not constrained to what they were when God created them...
Pretty soon we'll see fermions in the bosons' particle accelerators (and vice versa)!

LOL! I was wondering if someone would catch that!................

Then you have a dangling para-participle.............
