Schematic representation of relative motion within a monolayer. Mechanical connection between cells are indicated by links drawn with solid lines. New connections between adjacent cells (dotted line) form with probability p. Contacts may remain between cells that are no longer adjacent (dashed line), but in each MCS break with a probability q(ℓ), proportional to the distance between the two cell centroids ℓ. This link dynamics results in more rearward connections when adjacent cell layers move in opposite directions.
