Scope. All natural k at least two and all natural n.

2) V2 At n=0, the pair of ones is a feasible factorial-packing tuple with sum two.

Scope. Base feasibility boundary.

1) V1 For each fixed k at least two, does the summatory factorial-packing excess have an asymptotic c_k x log x for some real constant c_k?

The June 2026 paper gives 3(k-1)/log(12) <= liminf <= limsup <= (k-1)/log(2), leaving both convergence and the constant open. Formal-conjectures permits zero tuple entries while the paper uses positive entries; replacing each zero by one preserves its factorial and only raises the objective, so the maxima agree. The candidate set is proved bounded locally, preventing an sSup escape.

Scope. Every natural k at least two, with x tending to infinity through natural values.
