87. In a very large packing, different regions of the packing will show some variation in packing fraction and structure. The calculation of average pair correlation function performed in this work assumes that some very large packing includes 100 regions of 1000 spheres that are the independently generated samples used to calculate the average pair correlation functions shown in Fig.
