[edit] comments

Some natural phenomena, such as clouds, trees, and shorelines, have an approximately fractal character, but do not represent patterns in the strict sense of the term.

Removed. Since when does "pattern" have a commonly accepted "strict sense"? Also, what does it mean for something (e.g. a cloud) to "represent patterns"?

Patterns may be observable through the senses of sight, hearing and touch.

Removed specific references to vision, hearing, and touch. This implies that patterns of smell and taste are impossibilities, which is silly.

[edit] 'rule'

I agree with the definition. In fact I think it is excellent. But the current link from the word 'rule' should be removed until the 'rule' page is modified to give a usage that is appropriate. The ones there now are not, in my opinon.

[edit] This article stinks

This article stinks. It's a disorganized mess, akin to creating an article for "doorknob" and then adding a ==See also== section for brass doorknobs, doorknobs in art, creatures that look like doorknobs, and entrances. Someone probably started it as a dicdef (when they shouldn't have) and people just kept on adding onto it instead of putting it out of its misery. I really have no clue what to replace it with, though, or even how to organize it. It doesn't seem like it should be a disambiguation page. --Ardonik 22:14, Jul 18, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Patterns

I wonder if someone could explain just how many occurances of something, when referring to a physical action, must occur before it is considered to be a pattern? For example; someone begins to exhibit violent tendancies, how many times would this need to occur before one could say this person is exhibiting a pattern of such tendencies? 2..3..4?

Thanks D

[edit] Disambiguation

I think the disambiguation page for pattern is better than this page. Can we merge them? Do people do that? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hilary Gage (talk • contribs) 05:23, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
