Btw, there was preceding and groundbreaking work done of this field previously, had the great minds of the past not been lost progress would have been even faster.
"We have noticed in nature that the behavior of a fluid depends very little on the nature of the individual particles in that fluid. For example, the flow of sand is very similar to the flow of water or the flow of a pile of ball bearings. We have therefore taken advantage of this fact to invent a type of imaginary particle that is especially simple for us to simulate. This particle is a perfect ball bearing that can move at a single speed in one of six directions. The flow of these particles on a large enough scale is very similar to the flow of natural fluids."Feynman
Nothing made him angrier than making something simple sound complicated.
For Richard, figuring out these problems was a kind of a game. He always started by asking very basic questions like, "What is the simplest example?" or "How can you tell if the answer is right?"
The denial is never an option when faced with reality, even if the obstacle cannot be overcomed by logic it will be overcome when you transcend logic whilst remaining logically consistent.
The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.

Well I'll go into some nice ultra simplifed examples of what's going on.
You can imagine a pattern as a raft a one d line being pushed by the addition. This is equivalent to a raft in a surface such as a cellular membrane, which moves along and interacts with other surfaces(all interaction and all information exchange occurs in 2d surface interfaces, and all 2d surfaces can be deconstructed into 1 d rafts)
Now this nice video showcases, what the raft model looks like in a biological cell
When you get to the raft portion, think of the nature of pattern as the structure of the raft and its potential interaction with the structure of other rafts including self-similar*(identical) rafts.
An even simpler example that illustrates the nature of the algorithm in laymans terms is an escalator, an escalator can move a static object of arbitrary precision arbitrarily up.
The object does not change, yet impressively this gives an extreme complexe pattern result as outcome.

This also serves as arbitrary length realtime verification of arbitrary proofs.(very good to make sure your arguments make sense before making them by verifying them for logical consistency.)
