### pattern:

Behavioral pattern
* Some behavioral patterns are exhibited by common ringtail possums
  - promote survival
* are concerned with assigning responsibilities among a collection of objects
  - developed as a result of our characteristics
* define how a system behaves under various conditions.
* lead to consequences

Characteristic pattern
* are caused by insect outbreaks
* use for identification.

Decal
* are also a vehicle or medium that are used to deliver information to prospects and customers
  - art
  - designs
* have a limited life when exposed to the elements.
* is transfer paper

### pattern:

Design pattern
* are a new way to think about and communicate software architectures
  - tool for capturing expertise about design and for improving design
* are design ideas, experiences which can be used effectively
  - solutions to recurring problems in software construction
  - intimately related to object-oriented programming
  - reusable micro architectures, which frequently occur in object oriented systems
  - solutions to regularly occurring problems
  - used in object oriented programming
* identify, name, and abstract common themes in object-oriented design.
  * In Computer science, a 'Design pattern' is an abstract solution to a certain problem. Design patterns are used in object oriented programming. They give a possible solution to a problem of designing software.

Drainage pattern
* have some interesting, systematic geometric properties.
* tend to reflect underlying rock structure.

### pattern:

Evolutionary pattern
* are found that relate to the mass , age and composition of the star.
+ Cosmic distance ladder, Galactic distance indicators, Main sequence fitting: Astronomical distances
  * In a Hertzsprung-Russell diagram the absolute magnitude for a group of stars is plotted against the spectral classification of the stars. Evolutionary patterns are found that relate to the mass, age and composition of the star. In particular, during their hydrogen burning period, stars lie along a curve in the diagram called the main sequence.

General pattern
* indicate results.
* show great variation

Mandala
* means center, circumference or sacred circle in Sanskrit
  - whole world
* no-cost graphics program that displays animated Mandala images.
* points to the fundamental energies of life.

Migration pattern
* Some migration patterns depend on ages.
* indicate movement.
* vary over time and are unique to different cultural groups.

Motif
* Motives behave like functions and can be nested.
* are designs
  - frequently highly conserved parts of domains
  - incidents, images, or ideas that appear again and again in a novel
  - themes

### pattern:

Pattern recognition
* foundation for innovation.
* gives meaning to the information obtained in sensory store.
* involves activation of associated ideas
  - feature extraction, context processing and pattern classification
* is based upon models of intruder behavior
  - developed in researchers through intuitive and metaphorical thinking
  - part of the diagnostic criteria in a disease of dysmorphogenesis
* is something human beings excel at
  - most people excel at
  - very useful in many applications
* large part of intuition.
* leads to the understanding of concepts of number, operations, shape, and space.
* vital skill in critical thinking, particularly in problem solving.

Polygonal pattern
* are a common result of contractional cooling of lava flows and welded tuffs.
* dominate flat surfaces.

Seasonal pattern
* are one special type of cycle.
* occur every year in most agriculture commodities.

Sleep pattern
* are important to performance.
* change as one gets older.
* tend to change.
* vary, based on the age of the child.
