Magnetization to Morphogenesis: A Brief History of the Glazier-Graner-Hogeweg Model

This chapter discusses the history and development of what we propose to rename the Glazier-Graner-Hogeweg model (GGH model), starting with its ancestors, simple models of magnetism, and concluding with its current state as a powerful, cell-oriented method for simulating biological development and tissue physiology. We will discuss some of the choices and accidents of this development and some of the positive and negative consequences of the model’s pedigree.
