A pattern, from the French patron, is a type of theme of recurring events or objects, sometimes referred to as elements of a set. These elements repeat in a predictable manner. It can be a template or model which can be used to generate things or parts of a thing, especially if the things that are created have enough in common for the underlying pattern to be inferred, in which case the things are said to exhibit the unique pattern. Pattern matching is the act of checking for the presence of the constituents of a pattern, whereas the detecting for underlying patterns is referred to as pattern recognition. The question of how a pattern emerges is accomplished through the work of the scientific field of pattern formation.

The most basic patterns are based on repetition and periodicity. A single template, or cell, is combined with duplicates without change or modification. For example, simple harmonic oscillators produce repeated patterns of movement.

Pattern recognition is more complex when templates are used to generate variants. For example, in English, sentences often follow the "N-VP" (noun - verb phrase) pattern, but some knowledge of the English language is required to detect the pattern. Computer science, ethology, and psychology are fields which study patterns.

"A pattern has an integrity independent of the medium by virtue of which you have received the information that it exists. Each of the chemical elements is a pattern integrity. Each individual is a pattern integrity. The pattern integrity of the human individual is evolutionary and not static."
R. Buckminster Fuller (1895-1983), U.S.American philosopher and inventor, in Synergetics: Explorations in the Geometry of Thinking (1975), Pattern Integrity 505.201

A. A few years ago Beadstyle magazine had a huge issue on how to make creatures w/ swarovski crystals. You can usually get back issues. It was from a few years ago. Their web site usually has information on lots of topics. Another idea is to just start playing w/ your wire & beads so you can create your own styles & be famous! :)

How do you create detailed patterns in Animal Crossing City Folk?
Q. Some people make really detailed patterns themselves, without using any from Animal Crossing Community. How do they do this? Anybody know, any recommendations?

A. Be creative. Use different shapes. You can start out with a solid colored background and then think of little shapes you can put in it to fill the canvas. Try flowers, suns and moons, anything you could possibly think of! Have fun! Oh and by the way, i love animal crossing!

How do you get your sleeping patterns back to normal or healthy?
Q. 3am as I type this. I would like to go to bed at 11pm ideally. Lately I've had episodes of insomnia for a number of reasons. Anyhow, once you've been up until 5am, your sleep patterns are completely messed up as you can imagine. Any suggestions?

A. Make yourself stay awake until a normal bedtime and then if you have problems sleeping..drink anything hot...try chammomile tea or hot chocolate extra creamy with milk...take a hot bath right before bed (long soaky til you're almost asleep). Some people say to excercise before bed but that always kept me awake as I had a lot of energy. Start keeping a really regular schedule. Get up at the same time every morning, eat at the same times, don't eat after 6 or 7 pm, go to bed at a good hour (you want 8 hours sleep) and don't get up once you do lay down to sleep. Even if you can't sleep...lay there. Keep your eyes closed and daydream until you fall back asleep. Bathe, climb into bed about an hour before you want to go to sleep and… [cont.]
