In the circular hard-disc cage approximation, moving the central disc towards a neighbour brings contact after a centre displacement . Thus
(1)
At close packing, and . The radius concerns the accessible positions of the moving centre; subtracting only one disc radius would incorrectly leave a finite rattling area at contact. The real cage is bounded by curved exclusion arcs, so the circle is an inscribed approximation.
