Abstract: Let $frakT$ be a set of cylindrical tubes in $mathbb{R}^3$ of length $N$ and radius 1. If the union of the tubes has volume $N^{3-sigma}$, and each point in the union lies in tubes pointing in three quantitatively different directions, and if a technical assumption holds, then at scale $N^{s}igma$, the tubes are clustered into rectangular slabs of dimension $1imes{N}^{s}igmaimes{N}^{s}igma$. This estimate generalizes the graininess estimate proven by Katz-Laba-Tao. The proof is based on modeling the union of tubes with a high-degree polynomial.
