If 36 points lie in the unit square and the configuration touches both the left side and the bottom side, then two distinct points are at Euclidean distance at most 1/5.

Preamble

Formal statement
namespace CirclePackingConstants

theorem thirty_six_left_bottom_close_pair :
    ∀ p : Fin 36 → Point,
      (∀ i, 0 ≤ (p i).1 ∧ (p i).1 ≤ 1 ∧ 0 ≤ (p i).2 ∧ (p i).2 ≤ 1) →
      (∃ i, (p i).1 = 0) →
      (∃ j, (p j).2 = 0) →
      ∃ i j, i ≠ j ∧ sqDist (p i) (p j) ≤ (1 : ℝ) / 25 := by sorry

end CirclePackingConstants

Boundary-normal geometric core obtained from CirclePackingConstants.thirty_six_unit_square_close_pair by translation invariance. This remains the genuine hard geometric obligation; no use is made of the disputed Kirchner-Wengerodt optimality argument.
