I’m trying to recall a recentish (last few decades) result from geometry where the closest packing or tesselation of some space turned out to be weirdly non-uniform and arbitrary looking. Anyone know what I’m thinking of?

Not talking about aperiodic tiling of the Penrose style. It think it was a closest packing type problem where the setup suggested some regular looking outcome but the result was some weird shit

Found it, thanks john

probably that simulation one, where they all look like they’ve just dumped into a bucket and bounced around or something.I remember an article similar to this, best I can find right now is “random close packing”

Ah! This might also be it. Both look familiar, and both serve the purpose for my thing
