Here is the principle for new cell selection.
Each new cell produces a revenue for the leaf, consisting of the solar energy which it collects.
This revenue is proportional to the area of the cell. The proportionality constant is given by a parameter \\(\epsilon\\). Recall that all cells are squares of width \\(h\\). Hence the revenue from any cell is given by \\(\epsilon h^2\\).
On the other hand, there is the added cost of transporting fluid from the root to the new cell.
Principle: a cell just outside of the fringe of the current leaf will be added if its revenue would exceed its cost.
