Sorry I am newbie to this but isn't this what algorithms for Place and Route for FPGAs do? Start with seed and start walking different paths to see what is feasible?
Also I had seen something like this quite some years back for antennas called Evolved Antennas using Genetic Algorithms. The problem with these antennas from what I read was it worked when the margins were very narrow. I am not sure if this is something similar.
Not sure about the antenna thing, but this is much more complicated than place and route because putting a pixel (or not) in a grid location has a very abstract relationship to the electromagnetic wave that is passing through the structure. Place and route is just dc connectivity. The more intriguing thing is that seemingly similar looking patterns produce entirely different RF responses.
This is crazy (in a good way)! Following for more.
Flagged this for the next issue—super interesting.

this is very impressive...
