I would change 'bulk' to 'constant' in this line. If I remember correctly, the overall parameterization we use is considered a 'bulk' formulation, and we're just choosing whether the coefficients are constant or not. Anyone please correct me if that's wrong. (And yes I used 'bulk' in the original comment!)
