Grant Hutchison worked this out, but the details escape me. The Hoopworld I described in OA is based on his calculations, but he has since indicated it would need a lot of active management to stop it from coalescing into separate beads.

Anders Sandberg has described a significantly more stable hoopworld,

In most respects, for hoopworlds, small is better, unless you have very good control over matter.
