We establish a connection between exclusion statistics with arbitrary integer exclusion parameter g and a class of random walks on planar lattices. relating the generating function for the algebraic area of closed walks on the lattice to the grand partition function of particles obeying exclusion statistics g. Square lattice random walks. described in terms of the Hofstadter Hamiltonian. https://www.houseandholders.shop/product-category/dining-seating/
