Pattern Language Construction Process

Entities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.

• A Pattern Languageconcept0.821
  Alexander's earlier book (1977, Oxford University Press) containing 253 design patterns; extensively referenced throughout this chapter for functional examples of each of the fifteen properties
• Artificially Created Pattern Languageconcept0.813
  A pattern language deliberately constructed for a new context rather than inherited from tradition, requiring the same organic grounding in cultural wholeness
• Community-specific pattern languageconcept0.780
  A unique pattern language crafted from the voices and dreams of a particular community, not a generic template
• Pattern Language represents a rearrangement of the political power in the design and building process.claim0.758
• Process-Based Construction Methodsframework0.753
  Alexander's proposed approach using high technology to provide processes (not components) that create sophisticated elements cheaply while fitting local circumstance.
• 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.claim0.750
  Interpretation of Alexander’s later work as a rule-based game that requires contextual improvisation, though limited to pre-defined patterns.
• A pattern language is a work of poetry and art, potentially as profound in its way as a building can beclaim0.745
  Alexander's characterization of the deep nature of pattern languages in section 13
• Pattern completionconcept0.735
  The ability of a network to regenerate a full pattern from partial input, seen in neural networks and in regenerative biology (e.g., planarian fragments).
