A topological model for binary random cellular structures under neighbor-switching is presented. Performing exact analytical calculations, one obtains a bimodal cell shape distribution, whereas Aboav’s law for the correlations between neighboring cells holds for each species separately. The binary character of the tessellation is reduced with increasing disorder. The calculated topological properties are analyzed in comparison with recent experimental studies of binary disc assemblies on an air table.
