The document discusses different types of patterns including repetition, tesellation, Penrose tiling, fractals, and harmonic oscillators. Patterns involve recurring events or objects that repeat in a predictable manner. Tessellations specifically use repetition without change across an plane or surface. Penrose tiling and kolam use symmetry and finite repetition instead of infinite translation. Fractals exhibit self-similarity under magnification or scaling. Harmonic oscillators generate repeated movements over time.

Pattern, tesellation.
A pattern, is a type of theme of recurring events or objects.
The elements of a pattern repeat in a predictable manner.
patterns, called tesellations, are based on repetition and
periodicity, repeated without change or modification.
Tesellation:
Periodicity.
3. +
Pattern, penrose/pongal/kolam
Other patterns, such as Penrose tiling and Pongal or
Kolam, use symmetry which is a form of finite
repetition, instead of translation which can repeat to infinity.
Penrose/pongal/kolam:
Infinity.
4. +
Pattern, fractal
Fractal patterns also use magnification or scaling giving an
effect known as self-similarity or scale invariance.
Fractal:
Self-similarity.
5. +
Pattern, harmonic oscillator
A different kind of pattern generator is a simple harmonic
oscillator, which produces repeated movements in time.
Harmonic oscillator:
movement
