Would it be possible to cast the influence spreading in the form
of a 2-D partial differential equation, for instance heat diffusion?
Spreading translates into diffusion. Permeability in position dependent
conductivity.

For partial differential equations there is a host of fast algorithms.

An extra bonus is that the solution of a partial differential equation
is orientation independent as opposed to the current influence
spreading.
