Pigeonring: A Principle for Faster Thresholded Similarity Search

Summary: Introduces the pigeonring principle, organizing boxes in a ring to constrain multiple boxes, yielding stronger filtering for thresholded similarity search. Shows pigeonhole is a special case, presents a universal filtering framework, and demonstrates faster, minimally invasive integration with existing algorithms on real data.
