Complex decay of solid 4c matrix

[Rhombic]

This 4c matrix with 4e defects that simulate, as far as I can tell, a B1c/S rule, can decay when a competing out-of-phase 4e defect is added.

It eventually reaches a stable configuration.
What pattern does it follow to decay? Can it be used to determine certain symmetry properties of objects, once transferred and converted to 4e defects?

This rule also has some long period oscillators, here is one with a period of 22,811,832:

Has anyone been able to give it any thought?

As a separate observation, the oscillators themselves look as if logic gates are not that unlikely to be built, to be honest. In a WireWorld-like fashion, ideally.
