We discuss in depth the application of the classical concepts for interpreting the quantal results from the triaxial rotor core without and with odd-particle. The corresponding limitations caused by the discreteness and finiteness of the angular momentum Hilbert space and the extraction of the relevant features from the complex wave function and distributions of various angular momentum components are discussed in detail. New methods based on spin coherent states and spin squeezed states are introduced. It is demonstrated that the spin coherent state map is a powerful tool to visualize the angular momentum geometry of rotating nuclei. The topological nature of the concepts of transverse and longitudinal wobbling is clarified and the transitional axis-flipregime is analysed for the first time.
