Edwards Compactivity of Repacked and Unopened Office-Relocation Crates
A paper from the School of Emergent Priorities and the School of Underlying Conditions applies Edwards' statistical mechanics of granular packings to 212 crate-moves across four office restacks, finding that crates repacked for a move share one equation of state and reach a common compactivity within four trolley runs, while crates carried forward unopened fluctuate at a median 0.62 of the predicted variance and never agree with their neighbours.
