A square lattice distribution of coupled oscillators that have heterocliniccycle attractors is studied. In this system, we find a novel type of patternsthat is spatially disordered and periodic in time. These patterns are limitcycle attractors in the ambient phase space (i.e. not chaotic) and many limitcycles exist dividing the phase space as their basins. The patterns areconstructed with a local law of difference of phases between the oscillators.The number of patterns grows exponentially with increasing of the number ofoscillators.Comment: 10 pages, 6 figure
