   *
   * <p>To determine if a swimming cell is near contact with the biofilm surface, the agent checks
   * the status of the agent grid voxel it resides within. If this is 1, this is noted as having
   * agents within it that are within the biofilm structure. The agent now examines how close it is
   * to each of these agents. If within a certain distance (radius + stickiness constant), then the
   * agent is deemed to have adhered to the structure. Any overlap will be addressed during shoving
   * analysis. If not, the agent will perform another move.
