The Pattern Language is a game that regulates the interaction between man and environment and its complexity lies in the interface of the generative rules coded in the patterns with the specific circumstances of its application.

Interpretation of Alexander’s later work as a rule-based game that requires contextual improvisation, though limited to pre-defined patterns.
