Pattern Literacy
Definition
The ability to recognize, understand, and work with the recurring forms and flows found in nature, culture, and design.
Interpretation
Reading the language of life. Spirals, branches, waves, thresholds — these are not decorations, they’re instructions. Pattern literacy helps us design like the forest, not the factory.
Living Invitation
Notice a repeating pattern in your environment today — veins, shadows, habits. What is it teaching you?
