Description

Pattern Theory explores the concept of pattern across various disciplines, including science, neuroscience, psychology, and social sciences. This comprehensive body of theory unifies concepts of form, order, and regularity to present a robust framework around pattern searching and matching.

The book delves into the cognitive basis of patterns, their impact on reasoning and learning, and the social and collaborative nature of pattern recognition, expression, and representation. It also addresses philosophical issues surrounding shared pattern thinking and introduces a broad conceptual basis for "pattern inquiry", providing questions and methodologies for applying pattern theory.

With 50 key principles outlined as a manifesto for pattern theory, this book offers a unified lens for examining social and cognitive phenomena. Researchers, scholars, and practitioners are encouraged to explore and critique this theoretical framework.
