No room! No room!they cried out when they saw Alice coming.
The exclusion problem is to remove as few cells as possible from a given region of the grid so as to exclude a given polyform. Equalization problems involve equalizing the distribution of cells within a region. The variegation problem is to color the cells of the grid with as few colors as possible so that a given polyform, no matter where it lies on the grid, has cells of all different colors. Integration means joining copies of a weakly joined polyform to make a strongly joined polyform.
