Patterns are also related to repeated shapes or objects, sometimes referred to as elements of the series.  Some patterns (for example, many visual patterns) may be directly observable, such as simple decorative patterns (stripes, zigzags, and polka-dots).  Others can be more complicated, such as the regular tiling of a plane, echos, and balanced binary branching.

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, in aviation, a "holding pattern" is a flight path which can be repeated until the aircraft has been granted clearance for landing.

In addition to static patterns, Simple Harmonic Oscillators produce repeated patterns of [[motion|movement]].

:"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."
