Abstract: The notion of a completely saturated packing [Fejes Toth, Kuperberg and Kuperberg, Highly saturated packings and reduced coverings, Monats. Math. 125 (1998) 127-145] is a sharper version of maximum density, and the analogous notion of a completely reduced covering is a sharper version of minimum density. We define two related notions: uniformly recurrent and weakly recurrent dense packings, and diffusively dominant packings. Every compact domain in Euclidean space has a uniformly recurrent dense packing. If the domain self-nests, such a packing is limit-equivalent to a completely saturated one. Diffusive dominance is yet sharper than complete saturation and leads to a better understanding of n-saturation.
