DESCRIPTION: The Sausage Catastrophe (Jörg Wills) is the observation that i
 n d = 3 and d = 4\, the densest packing of n spheres is a sausage for small
  n and jumps to a full-dimensional packing for large n without passing thro
 ugh any intermediate dimensions. We denote the smallest value of n for whic
 h the densest packing is full-dimensional by k_d. We discuss some upper and
  lower bounds for k_3 and k_4\, including k_3 ≤ 56 by Wills (1985) and k_4 
 &lt\; 375\,769 by Gandini and Zucco (1992). We present some initial improve
 ments to the upper bound for k_4 via extending the work of Gandini and Zucc
