We model the topology of the plane using a compartmental model. We divide the plane into compartments called ‘processors.’ Each pro￾cessor is physically analogous to the space of one row in the plane. By using differing layouts of processors, we can model a variety of plane topologies. In the basic model, each passenger is randomly assigned to a seat on the plane. These seats are not necessarily unique: they are uni-
