- Designs containing a repeating motif
- The requirement that a pattern language must emanate as a whole from a situation and form a coherent complete system, not just a list of isolated solutions

- Combined epistemological stance that everything knowable about systems including consciousness is a function of observable behaviors of finite state machines
- Dennett's concept: patterns that are ontologically real because they are useful for prediction.
