I'd be tempted to add a scale to each neighborhood. The scale would
be a range of object sizes allowable within that neighborhood. anything
too big or two small gets shuffled into a neighborhood of the appropriate
scale, creating a new one if none exists. Neighborhoods of differing
scale can overlap eachother with no real problems.
Are there any glaring problems with that? I've had some difficulty
following exactly what you guys are talking about, but that probably
stems from not really reading the first couple of messages too thuroughly.
Will have ot go back and re-read those. ;)
