DESCRIPTION:What's the most dense way to pack a collection of curves into 
 a finite volume container subject to a uniform "thickness" constraint on t
 he curves? &nbsp\;We'll explore what's known (a little) or unknown (a lot)
  about this question\, discuss a number of putatively-optimal examples whi
 ch illustrate the subtleties\, and make some conjectures about what to exp
 ect about the optimal &nbsp\;configurations "almost everywhere"!
