What fraction of the way down is the maximum width?

only odd widths
erf(x/Sqrt[2 t]) ≈ Sqrt[2/(π t)] x

What is the distribution of width vs. length?

Side effect of width

Perimeter

Qualitative Classification

Straight edges or not?

At what angle?

Tapering or not?

Holey or not? I.e. density of nonzero cells

Symbolic Dynamics of Boundaries

On a particular scale, what is the sequence of in/out sections
