Editorial overview

Read Can Adhesion Alone Sort Cells into Tissues? for the model, trajectory, phase diagram, coarsening analysis, robustness checks, energy audit, and nine approved figures.

The public page interprets reviewed evidence without exposing the private simulator, notebooks, raw arrays, or intermediate calculations.

Key findings

  • The baseline effective A–B interfacial tension is 18 and the final sorting index is 0.5022.
  • The fitted finite-time coarsening exponent is 0.3001 across five configured replicates.

Limitations

  • The model is a synthetic two-dimensional system and represents no named tissue.
  • Chemotaxis, proliferation, extracellular matrix, and three-dimensional mechanics are outside scope.

Technical record

Detailed source, calculations, generated figures, and reproduction instructions are maintained in a private technical workspace. Public articles contain only manually reviewed interpretation and approved figures.
