A model for the packing of cells.
A model is presented for the statistical and geometrical aspects of the packing of cells. The model is closely related to lattice polymer models and the Ising model of ferromagnetism. Fundamental questions of existence and analyticity in the infinite volume limit are discussed, and the results of some initial numerical studies are given.
