Thanks for helping me to better frame my question.

I am looking to somehow establish the "disorder" of the particles in the
image.

Their deviation from a grid might be an interesting way to quantify this
disorder.

First you must decide what you want _exactly_. Do you want the average
distance between _neighbouring_ particles? Or do you want to get the
next
neighbour for each particle, and average _that_ distance? Or do you want

to have a measure how much the particle layout deviates from a hexagonal

layout?
