Normalized critical rotational energy, ﹩\overline{E}={E}_{{\rm{rot}},{\rm{j}}}^{{\rm{crit}}}/{E}_{{\rm{rot}},{\rm{kep}}}^{{\rm{crit}}}﹩, plotted as a function of the normalized spin parameter, jcrit/jcrit,kep. Colored points in the top panel represent the rotational properties of neutron stars computed from posterior samples of our EOS ensemble, while the solid black curve shows a polynomial fit to the data. The bottom panel displays the fractional residual, ﹩| 1-{\overline{E}}_{{\rm{fit}}}/\overline{E}| ﹩.
