Neat spacing leave much gap, patterned mess less space between.

I mean it makes sense when you think about how the spheres arrange in an infinte square and e.g. 4r square. There has to be some fuckery between the perfect packing and the small square packing. You can see a triangle of perfect packing in the middle of the 49 sphere square, surrounded by garbage.

Well-put. One perfect pattern at one scale, another perfect pattern at a different scale, and then there has to be a transition between them of optimal steps along the way. I like that.

Or, they could do 6x8 with one obviously extra at the end. But this is a funny not a rational thing.
