This is my redstone version of Langton's ant.

What is Langton's ant?
Langton's ant is a cellular automaton and a 4-state two-dimensional Turing Machine invented in 1986 by Chris Langton with a very simple set of rules but complex emergent behavior

The ant starts out on a grid containing black and white cells, and then follows the following set of rules.
1. If the ant is on a black square, it turns right 90 degrees and moves forward one unit.
2. If the ant is on a white square, it turns left 90 degrees and moves forward one unit.
3. When the ant leaves a square, it inverts the color.

Command block version and was also inspired by: Redstone Jazz

I have some friends on a server who made something like the Conway's game of life. they have used comparator to implement the rules. Your rules seem to be easier, so I'm sure you can easily increase the clock speed and the size. If I find the time, I will download the map and look to improve your creation.
