Low-energy nuclear structure is not sensitive enough to resolve the fine details of the nucleon-nucleon (NN) interaction. The insensitivity of the low-energy (infrared) physics to the details of the short-range strong interaction allows for a consistent, free of high-energy (ultraviolet) divergences, formulation of a local theory at the level of the local energy density functional (LEDF) including on the same footing, particle-hole and particle-particle channels. A major difficulty is related to the parameterization of the nuclear LEDF and its density dependence. It is argued that the structural simplicity of terminating or isomeric states offers an invaluable source of information that can be used for fine-tuning of the NN interaction in general and the nuclear LEDF parameters in particular. Practical applications of terminating states at the level of LEDF and nuclear shell-model are discussed.
