Gray-Scott reaction diffusion system, with parameters F=0.0600 and k=0.0609. This movie demonstrates the immunity of the "U-shaped moving pattern" to systematic random noise.
At each frame (which is 73.5 dimensionless time units) the U and V values at each grid point are altered by a random amount. Beginning at about 3 seconds into the movie, the noise begins at a magnitude of 1.0e-3. Each 10 seconds (11000 dimensionless time units in the simulation) this noise amplitude is doubled. Near the end of the movie the noise is so strong that the U-shaped patterns begin to be destroyed. The noise amplitude is brought back down to 1.0e-3 for a few seconds to show that the remaining U-shape is capable of recovering.

Complex interaction involving the common U-shaped moving pattern, a negative stripe with annulus, and a triangular group of 6 negatons.
The U-shaped object survives the first interaction, causing the triangular group to shift significantly in the process. On the second interaction the U is a bit closer to the annulus and is annihilated when it comes into contact with the triangle.
The groups of dots at the top of the image are also moving, but much more slowly — see following video.

Several slow-moving patterns made of dots: the three-dot and five-dot patterns move to the right; the four-dot patterns rotate (in opposite directions).
The large pattern to the lower right shifts into a symmetrical form, which then rotates while retaining its symmetry.
For reference, two U-shaped moving patterns are set on a collision course in the lower-left section. Their speed helps illustrate how slow the other moving patterns are by comparison.
When the U-patterns collide, the result is a 4-dot pattern that is in an unstable equilibrium configuration: any very slight perturbation will make them shift into a different (and stable) 4-dot arrangement. This shift is not seen here only because roundoff error prevents the initial (very slow) beginning of this transition from being properly simulated.

This is the stable moving pattern "Daedalus" (named after Project Daedalus because of its resemblance to that spaceship, see the Wikipedia article) being subjected to noise immunity testing. This pattern moves in the direction of the five dots, at a rate of one dimensionless length unit per 3.9×106 dimensionless time units.
