16. Telomeres tethering to the envelope and weak interaction energies reduce topological entanglement. Simulations of two "longer" chromosomes including binding and nonbinding segments give results analogous to those reported here. A model including many pairs of envelope-tethered chromosomes has a similar phase diagram.
