Do NPCs walk in the same pattern?

Does anyone have existing research on this? Especially someone who previously scripted for reflection :) I wondered if NPCs could be 'track', or predicted. or even if there was certain tiles that they walk on? Like.. in a certain area?

From what I've seen npcs have a certain area they generally stay within, but movement appears random within that area.

You can see this in action a lot with low level chars. NPCs that attack you will follow you so far until they hit the "edge" of their area then break off.
