We answer the questions raised by Donev, Torquato, Stillinger, and Connellyin their "Comment on "Jamming at zero temperature and zero applied stress: Theepitome of disorder.' " We emphasize that we follow a fundamentally differentapproach than they have done to reinterpret random close packing in terms ofthe "maximally random jammed" framework. We define the "maximally random jammedpacking fraction" to be where the largest number of initial states, chosencompletely randomly, have relaxed final states at the jamming threshold in thethermodynamic limit. Thus, we focus on an ensemble of states at the jammingthreshold, while DTSC are interested in determining the amount of order anddegree of jamming for a particular configuration. We also argue thatsoft-particle systems are as "clean" as those using hard spheres for studyingjammed packings and point out the benefits of using soft potentials
