I can't understand the current definition. By any chance, is this a rare synonym for (deprecated template usage) compactness? Mglovesfun (talk) 09:02, 17 March 2010 (UTC)
- I don't know, it seems pretty clear to me. If you picture a jar of sand, the grains aren't all nice perfect cubes, so a significant portion of the jar is filled with air. The compacity is the volume of the grains of sand divided by the total volume of the space they take up. —RuakhTALK 14:59, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
- Your definition (well, explanation) is clear, the entry is not. But now I know what it is, I should be able to do it myself. Mglovesfun (talk) 12:29, 24 March 2010 (UTC)
