Qs(t) quantifies the fraction of cells that remain within a characteristic distance (approximately one cell radius) after time t, after the displacement due to growth has been accounted for (Methods). Thus, fewer cells have changed their relative position in the tissue in region B compared to regions A and C. Single simulation for each region at \({{{\bar{\mathrm \Gamma }}}}\) = 0.12 and varied line tension \({{{\bar{\mathrm \Lambda }}}}\) = −0.711 (Region A, n = 702 cells), \({{{\bar{\mathrm \Lambda }}}}\) = −0.393 (Region B, n = 2546 cells), and \({{{\bar{\mathrm \Lambda }}}}\) = −0.074 (Region C, n = 1805 cells). Only cells that have not divided within 8 h are considered.
