Classification conjecture for rigid two-geodesic square-torus packings

Let N6N\geq 6 and consider a rigid packing of NN equal disks in a square torus. Assume that its packing graph consists of two linear geodesics, and let MM be its Markov constant. Two-geodesic classification conjecture. If M>3M>3, then the packing is a Type I or Type II packing, and it is maximally dense. The conjecture would classify all rigid packings in this two-geodesic regime whose Markov constant exceeds 33.
