If you have a fixed geometry of cells, it is quite easy to have one ref per cell. Which reduce a lot of contention.
For example, on a grid where ant can go instead of representing the world as a ref to a matrix, you can represent the world as a matrix of refs. Those refs can then be update concurrently. Provided there are a lot of cells and not too much contention, iti should work well.
