Pointer to the list? You are thinking too low-level here.

Something needs to have a list of cell locations, but that
is implementation detail that the user-level model shouldn't
know about. The user code should be written at as high a level
as possible so it can be written in C or Scheme, preferably in
a declarative style where that is possible.

The goal here is to eventually specify much of the layout
and model in scheme.
