Patterns

With fundamental terms in place, we have the underpinnings of a change-based language. To apply these terms to a system, we need simple, structured, and flexible patterns that are conducive to insight and elucidate coherent usage of these terms.

Patterns

Flow Pattern

Represents the foundational meta-pattern underlying all other patterns of change, embodying the fluid and continuous nature of transformation across systems

Cycle Pattern

Reflects the natural recurrence of events or processes within a system, emphasizing the cyclic nature of systemic dynamics.

Cascade Pattern

Illustrates processes where a change or event in one part of a system precipitates a series of subsequent changes or events, highlighting sequential dynamics.

Threshold Pattern

Addresses critical points in a system where a small change can lead to significant shifts, emphasizing nonlinear dynamism.

Synchronization Pattern

Focuses on the alignment of cycles, processes, or activities within a system to produce coordinated behaviors, emphasizing the temporal dynamics of systemic coherence.

Ripple Pattern

Embodies the propagation of influence from a central point, symbolizing the spread and diminishing impact of systemic changes.

Noise Pattern

The trend of random or indeterminate behavior or structure due to obfuscation, lack of information, or random fluctuation.

Web Pattern

Visualizes systems as interconnected networks, emphasizing the complex interdependencies and the potential for widespread influence through network dynamics.

Spiral Pattern

Embodies the concept of evolutionary progress, where systems undergo cyclic processes with incremental developments, symbolizing growth and transformation.

Emergence Pattern

Pertains to the rise of novel properties or behaviors as a result of component interaction, representing the spontaneous creation of new systemic levels.
