M  This entire series is woven around a "Pattern". A pattern by definition is predictable. Im not saying that she was being showed the actual future, but what the future is going to be like from the decisions that had been made up to that point.  Depends on the definition of Pattern.  In this case, it's more like a quilting Pattern, than a geometric Pattern. You can't look back on your quilting Pattern, and tell where you're going.
