heal.abstract	It is shown that in the framework of factorizable models with no transverse dimensions, simple considerations of the elastic cross section σel can provide much information on the asymptotic structure of multiparticle events. Effectively, we determine the stable equilibrium configurations of an analog Feynman-Wilson fluid with nearest neighbors interacting via the analog potential V(y)=-lnσel(y). Various interesting phenomena are traced if V(y) exhibits spontaneous symmetry breaking. These are illustrated in the context of a specific model with Koba-Nielsen-Olesen scaling, which leads to a higher-order phase transition. In particular, we find that one-gap production is favored asymptotically, while two or more gaps (of equal size) are produced with quickly decreasing probability. At the ""walls,"" or between two gaps, metastable structures of a definite mass spectrum are developed. Asymptotically, we have σn∼σel and the implications of this result on Koba-Nielsen-Olesen scaling are discussed. © 1979 The American Physical Society.	en
