On the third board (the first one with a slider), setting the bias to 100%, segregation stays under 10% (I've run it for a bit and the max was 8%). Obviously we need to tell everyone be act like "I'll move if less than 100% of my neighbours are like me"! ;)

This is because everyone at the border moves away - both the majority and the minority. When the majority at the border moves away, that exposes more border to move into.

Bias near 2/3rds segregates hard, since even in the presence of interlopers, the border gets defended.
