Not sure what you mean by DP, but this should in general be possible (granted enough memory & computing power). The problem for me is that stable states have to be fairly sparse, so I'm not sure how you'd get one to really look like anything at all ...

Yes, dynamic programming as mentioned. Good point about the stable states being sparse, meaning we wouldn't be able to get close enough to a good representation of the image.

Dynamic programming, presumably. The other abbreviations are much less appropriate in this context.
