| Abstract: | We introduce and simulate a two-dimensional Edwards-style model of granular matter at vanishing pressure. The model incorporates
some of the effects of gravity and friction, and exhibits a random loose packing density whose standard deviation vanishes
with increasing system size, a phenomenon that should be verifiable for real granular matter.
