Density of possible pentagon centers outside a disk

About 2 years old · traced to

Let P0P_0 be the original pentagon in the Eden model, and let u1,u2,u3,u4,u5u_1,u_2,u_3,u_4,u_5 be the five possible translation vectors between centers of neighboring pentagons. The set of possible centers is generated subject to the non-overlapping constraint of the model. Density conjecture. The set of possible centers of pentagons in the model is dense outside a disk around the origin. The claim concerns how the irrational relations among the translation vectors interact with the geometric non-overlap constraint; the source gives no further result establishing or disproving this density.
