One option would be maximum variation. Score goes up based on number of distinct states of the finite board in a finite time. This is kind of interesting because the solution(s) could be very different for different sizes and shapes of board, over different timeframes.
This is an elegant solution, but I worry that it will result in something that looks very boring and high-entropy. EDIT: After playing around a bit with GoL, I no longer am worried about this.

After reading through the suggestions, including yours and Raemon’s, I’m also sort of circling around this idea. Thanks.
