In section 3.2 of Kontsevich's very interesting paper "Notes on motives in finite characteristic,", he gives an axiomatic definition of a "lattice model" attached to a Boltzmann datum (V_1,V_2,R)$(V_1,V_2,R)$, where V_1$V_1$ and V_2$V_2$ are vector spaces and R$R$ is a linear endomorphism of V_1$V_1$ tensor V_2$V_2$. He remarks that the 2-dimensional Ising model is an example. Can someone explain to me what V_1$V_1$, V_2$V_2$, and R$R$ are for the 2-dimensional Ising model?

How is the Ising model an example of a lattice model as per Kontsevich?
