6. A locally jammed packing is one in which the particles are locally trapped by fixed neighbors. A collectively jammed packing is one in which no collective motions with fixed boundary can unjam the packing. A strictly jammed packing is one in which no collective motions with deformable boundary can unjam the packing. The readers are referred to Refs. and for details.

10. The tunneled crystals constitute an uncountably infinite number of strictly jammed crystal sphere packings that are subpackings of the densest crystal packings and are characterized by a high concentration of self-avoiding "tunnels" (chains of vacancies) that permeate the structures with φ = √ 2 π / 9 = 0.493 65... and Z = 7.

37. The asphericity of a particle is defined as the ratio of its circumsphere radius over its insphere radius.

39. This procedure is similar to those used in Refs. to produce MRJ packings of various smooth-shaped particles. Two polyhedra are considered to be contacting one another if their gap is < 0.001 of the circumradius of the particles.
40. Studies of different order metrics for three-dimensional frictionless spheres have consistently led to a minimum at approximately the same density 0.64 for collectively and strictly jammed packings. This consistency among the different order metrics speaks to the utility of the order-metric concept, even if a perfect order metric has not yet been identified. See Refs. and for detailed discussions on order metrics.

42. This definition of C (r) closely follows the definition of the angular correlation function S (r) defined by Jaoshvili in Ref.. For tetrahedra, C (r) and S (r) are equivalent.
43. 0 is of the same magnitude as here.
44. MRJ for very elongated ellipsoids and superellipsoids are smaller than φ MRJ sphere. When the asphericity of a particle is close to unity (γ < 1.2), its MRJ packing fraction is always above the corresponding value for a sphere; see Refs. and.
