A pattern, from the French patron, is a type of theme of recurring events or objects, sometimes referred to as elements of a set of objects.
The elements of a pattern repeat in a predictable manner. Patterns can be based on a template or model which generates pattern elements, especially if the elements have enough in common for the underlying pattern to be inferred, in which case the things are said to exhibit the unique pattern.
The most basic patterns, called Tessellations, are based on repetition and periodicity. In tessellation, a single template, tile, or cell is repeated without change or modification, usually in two dimensions to form a flat patterned surface.
Other patterns, such as Penrose tiling and Pongal or Kolam patterns from India, use symmetry which is a form of finite repetition, instead of translation which can repeat to infinity. Fractal patterns also use magnification or scaling giving an effect known as self-similarity or scale invariance. Some plants, like Ferns, generate a pattern using an affine transformation which combines translation, scaling, rotation and reflection.

The warning signs were flashing
They were so bright, they took over me
I got up to breath, but the fear
Stepped back and hit me
I tried not to
Scare easily when you explained
All the blackouts
There will be days when the
Pattern doesn’t bother me
Couldn’t sleep last night
It must have been the coffee,
I never should have drank
It after eight
It always makes me see,
The truth that hides inside
Me
It’s out in the open
Couldn’t sleep last night,
And I probably won’t tomorrow,
I tried not to…
