A pattern, from the French patron, is a type of theme of recurring events or objects, sometimes referred to as elements of a set. These elements repeat in a predictable manner. It can be a template or model which can be used to generate things or parts of a thing, especially if the things that are created have enough in common for the underlying pattern to be inferred, in which case the things are said to exhibit the unique pattern. Pattern matching is the act of checking for the presence of the constituents of a pattern, whereas the detecting for underlying patterns is referred to as pattern recognition. The question of how a pattern emerges is accomplished through the work of the scientific field of pattern formation.

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, simple harmonic oscillators produce repeated patterns of movement.

Pattern recognition is more complex when templates are used to generate variants. For example, in English, sentences often follow the "N-VP" (noun - verb phrase) pattern, but some knowledge of the English language is required to detect the pattern. Computer science, ethology, and psychology are fields which study patterns.

"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."
R. Buckminster Fuller (1895-1983), U.S.American philosopher and inventor, in Synergetics: Explorations in the Geometry of Thinking (1975), Pattern Integrity 505.201

What are some patterns with regard to ions that tend to be of low solubility vs high solubility?
Q. I did a lab in AP Chemistry and we saw if certain reactions produced preecipitates or not. I had to write net ionic equations which I did. I need to know what some patterns are with regard to ions that tend to be of low solubility and those which tend to be of high solubility.

A. Chloride and nitrate salts are soluble. Salts of higher valence cations (+2 or higher) are insoluble, unless they are chlorides or nitrates. Cations of +1 charge are soluble, except for silver. However, silver nitrate is soluble. Hydroxide salts of cations of +3 charge or higher are insoluble, except at low pH. Thus, for example, sodium chloride and silver nitrate are soluble, but if solutions are mixed, silver chloride precipitiates, leaving sodium nitrate in solution. Calcium nitrate mixed with sodium sulfate will precipitate calcium sulfate, leaving sodium nitrate in solution.

Where can I find sewing patterns for ballroom and latin dresses?
Q. I've searched on-line for patterns to sew my own dresses since they can be quite expensive when custom made and even pre-owned dresses cost a lot. But I am having a hard time finding the patterns. Is there a good website that I can go to that has the patterns to order?
