Think about the physics: To a first approximation, mass _must_
determine what's going on. For any given mass, there is one solution
to the equation of state. Otherwise, if there were (say)
two solutions, there would be two main sequences, not the observed one.
(1) Yes, the comment from Tim Folkerts to John Denker that the
HR diagram doesn't tell us anything about the mass is incorrect.
