Final orbital distribution of the control model after evolving the primordial scattered disk over 4.5 Gyr under the gravitational influence of the four giant planets on their current orbits. Several objects within ∼250 au acquire q > 40 au via interactions in strong Neptunian MMRs resulting in a clear q–i correlation (top panels). The extreme TNOs (blue asterisks) indicate that the control model cannot explain their orbits. Other shortcomings of this model are discussed in the main text.
