These sentences by the famous mathematician Norbert Wiener may serve us as a first guideline in defining a pattern. The idea that the nature of the elements is irrelevant for a pattern raises an important issue; namely, a pattern is defined on a specific length scale, on which the nature of the elements is irrelevant. Clearly we may focus our attention on the structure of these elements, but then the elements become the pattern and in turn are composed of still smaller elements. Rather than attempting a final definition of a pattern, let us consider instead a series of examples.
