If I have a choice, I prefer a square grid. If you do that you have to make sure the square root of the number of items is a round number. With ternary numbers this is the case if you have an even number of trits (eg bits). Here, there are four. Then you get 3⁴=81 elements. 9×9. Four trits so in four places I have three positions. The patterns are more in the shade than with binary numbers. That is interesting.
