*a pattern – apart from the term’s use to mean “template” – is a ‘discernible regularity’ in the (‘world’ / ‘man-made design’)*
.
(as such, the ‘elements’ of a ‘pattern’ repeat in a ‘predictable manner’)
(a geometric pattern is a kind of ‘pattern’ formed of ‘geometric shapes’ and typically repeated like a ‘wallpaper’)
(any of the senses may directly observe ‘patterns’)
(conversely, abstract patterns in science, mathematics, or language may be observable only by analysis)
(direct observation in practice means seeing ‘visual patterns’, which are widespread in nature and in art)
(visual patterns in nature are often chaotic, never exactly repeating, and often involve ‘fractals’)
(natural patterns include ‘spirals’, ‘meanders’, ‘waves’, ‘foams’, ’tilings’, ‘cracks’, and those created by symmetries of ‘rotation’ and ‘reflection’)
(‘patterns’ have an underlying ‘mathematical’ structure; indeed, ‘mathematics’ can be seen as the search for ‘regularities’, and the ‘output’ of any ‘function’ is a ‘mathematical pattern’)
(similarly in the ‘sciences’, ‘theories’ explain and predict ‘regularities’ in the ‘world’)
(in ‘art’ and ‘architecture’, decorations or visual motifs may be combined and repeated to form ‘patterns’ designed to have a chosen effect on the viewer)
(in ‘computer science’, a ‘software design pattern’ is a known solution to a class of problems in ‘programming’)
.
(in ‘fashion’, the ‘pattern’ is a ‘template’ used to create any number of similar ‘garments’)
