The Nature Of Patterns

Hidden in plain sight!
Her breasts beg me to contemplate eternity, quite literally.
How is it that we see these patterns, but see what they mean?
I don’t know what they mean.
Do we even know what to do with them?
How to replicate them?
I see patterns everywhere.
Why don’t we just start by indexing all the patterns?
Creating a pattern taxonomy.
Like explorers!
When you see a pattern, shout out:
Hey guys! Over here! I discovered a pattern!
We will come to you and record it.
Then we will look at all of the patterns.
Let us think of how to use the patterns.
How to connect the patterns.
Are the patterns “in nature” different from the patterns “in my life”?
As in, are they qualitatively different?
If they are, why don’t we use different words for them?
Or are they linked somehow?
For example, perhaps economics is just physics for humans.
It has to do with time, space, limits;
the interactions and relationships of energy.
Perhaps wisdom is just truth for humans.
How do I apply truth in my life?
I learned a bunch of facts,
I realized a bunch of things,
Now what?
How shall we then live?
Human-size physics.
Human-size truth.
A pattern.
Hey guys! Look! I found a pattern!
A pattern to do with patterns!
A meta-pattern, as my friend Carson would put it.
We should definitely come up with an index for meta-patterns.
The more meta you go, the more leverage you have!
This is all Hofstader — patterns inside of patterns…
Fractals!
How many other patterns can I find?
