Note that the maximally random jammed (MRJ) state (defined in [6]) will depend on the jamming category (local, collective, or strict) of interest. The packing fraction corresponding to the MRJ state will take on the smallest value for the least restrictive category (local jamming) and the largest value for the most restrictive category (strict jamming).
