Domain-specific

• Sphere packing
  • Lattice packings restrict centers to a lattice, periodic packings repeat a finite motif, and unrestricted packings may be neither, so results in one admissible class cannot silently settle another.

Verification

Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.

Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
