26. There is a slight difference between the packings of "soft" particles (deformation 0.1%) and "hard" particles (deformation 0.1%). The average coordination number of the hard particles is smaller than that of the soft particles, leading to a significant number of rattlers - i.e., particles that feel no force from above. Since the forces carrying these rattlers are of the order mg<(F), they show up as δ peaks at zero force (see also Sec. II B); besides these δ peaks, P(f) in both systems are virtually indistinguishable.

35. The second moments are very sensitive to small changes in the distributions and hence form a good representation of the evolution of the entire distributions P(w) and P(f) as a function of depth. To see what the corresponding distributions look like, we refer to Figs. 2 and 5(a).

38. This diffusion in correlation space should not be confused with the diffusion in real space due to a localized force on the top surface. In our case we have homogeneous initial conditions as all weights in the top layer are equal.
