Two rubber balloons don't behave that way in air or in water - possibly because their matter can't redistribute freely? I think it sounds like this thought experiment would behave in the latter manner. But I'm curious to hear a definite answer. | |

Tightly packed sand can be jammed and unable to spontaneously rearrange. But let's assume we are looking for final states, without the difficulties in how to get there. | |
