With that in mind, and given how much field there was in 2016, I predict open/minimal structures on the field.
Quite often, a few basic rules lead to emergent behavior patterns that repeat with specific frequency or expand in patterns that are not at all obvious on inspection of the rules. Are you familiar with Conway's Game of Life?
