English: A two-dimensional en:cyclic cellular automaton with 16 states, on a 300×300 torus, after 400 steps starting from a random initial configuration. At this stage in the automaton's evolution, three different types of pattern can be seen: random fields similar to the starting configuration, large blocks of color, and spirals. Eventually the spirals will take over the entire field.
