We develop a mean-field description including spatial structure for a simplified version of the three-state active matter model studied by Venzel et al. (Phys. Rev. E 110, 014109 (2024)). The resulting triangular lattice of coupled nonlinear differential equations are integrated numerically using a fourth-order Runge-Kutta scheme. Starting from various ordered initial configurations, we probe the stability of the corresponding stationary states, revealing the presence of various high-density ordered structures in the density-noise plane. The results are compared with Monte Carlo simulations of the simplified model, yielding, in certain cases, unexpected transitions between ordered configuration types.
