THE SORTING TISSUE

mixed cells unmix themselves

THE RULE

Two cell types swap places with a neighbour when the swap lowers adhesion energy (Metropolis). Like-like contacts are stickier than unlike ones, with strengths set by the seed.

Tap to scramble a patch. The same ?seed= always gives the same run.

WHAT IS CLAIMED

LITSteinberg’s differential adhesion hypothesis; Graner & Glazier (1992). Cell counts must be conserved, or the page throws.

AMBERA single-site lattice, not the full cellular Potts model.
