    Patterns are an event of form, and there are an infinite number of variations and imperfections within each pattern. They are created by pressure between media, usually just two, and in them and their flows of energy, we can find a huge potential for design.
    Though the variations are endless, there are few core patterns upon which everything is model. Waves, for example, are a core pattern, and we can observe them as the ocean (pressure between the weather and water) or dunes (pressure between wind and sand). Other core patterns include streamlines, spirals, lobes, branches, and scatters. All of these are formed by growth and flow.
    Lastly, there is a special core pattern, nets, which is formed by shrinkage. We can set net patterns in series of hexagons, such as honey hives, and we can also see them the cracking, such as with dried mud.
    Key Takeaways:
    ∙Patterns are events of form caused by pressure between two (or more) media.
    ∙While there are many variations and imperfections of pattern, there is a finite number of core patterns.
    ∙Core patterns include waves, streamlines, cloud forms, spirals, lobes, branches, and nets.
    ∙Most patterns are formed by growth and flow, except nets, which are formed by shrinkage.

    About Geoff:
    Geoff is a world-renowned permaculture consultant, designer, and teacher. He has established permaculture demonstration sites that function as education centers in all the world’s extreme climates - information on the success of these systems is networked through the Permaculture Research Institute and the www.permaculturenews.org website.
    About Permaculture:
    Permaculture (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permacu...) integrates land, resources, people and the environment through mutually beneficial synergies - imitating the no waste, closed loop systems seen in diverse natural systems. Permaculture applies holistic solutions that are applicable in rural and urban contexts and at any scale. It is a multidisciplinary toolbox including agriculture, water harvesting and hydrology, energy, natural building, forestry, waste management, animal systems, aquaculture, appropriate technology, economics, and community development.

    Thanks Geoff! I was only contemplating doing a Permaculture course until I saw this lecture. Now I think I want to be all in. Why? I have been working with patterns all my life programming fractal graphics in my youth through to designing cloud computing systems now. I have never heard of anyone describe patterns in their domain or universe of discourse the way you have here? Some people just need a way in to Permaculture that resonates with their current understanding. So once again...Thank you!

      @@manjichromagnon5480 it's not lost on me. The fact is the masses exist and need to understand. The existance of the masses & their behaviour breaks the natural balance of things. The masses are conditoned by nature and human systems to be attracted by simplicity. This condition gives us great advantage however leaves us vulnerable. It is a contradiction. Natures intent is for us to find a better way. The entities you mention, and others, gave us our simple follies to which we devote our precious time and energies. The escape, the way out, the better way of existing, from practices such as described in this video, I believe, should be presented more simply for the uptake of the masses, so as to render our current shepards impotent and irrelevant.

    Maybe the purpose of trees was to hold the upper surface of the earth together during earthquakes, floods, continent shift etc. Imagine if the majority of the earth’s surface was covered by an intertwined network of tree roots, maybe not right next to each other but close enough so that the roots can intertwine. Wouldn’t that stabilize the crust of the earth during these kind of events? Wouldn’t a huge ancient forest survive a massive earthquake better than ungrounded soil? Wouldn’t it take a long time to get forests that mature so shouldn’t we be starting now to figure out how we would help it along? To clarify, it would be the interlocking of the roots that would make this work, isolated trees probably can’t make a big difference.

    To be bigger and stronger, eat more, exercise more. To grow your business consume more and produce more. In finance it follows that assets and expenses are debits, income and liabilities and credits, that is the same pattern. What goes in must go out, the limiting factor is retention capacity. That is why water retention and soil structure is key to all plant life. The soil structure improves water retention allowing plant growth. As a side note plant roots touch each other and can draw water and neutrients from adjacent roots, therefore close planting of varied crops improves survival as different neutrients are drawn and encourage growth in newer plants fueling and increasing the root systems.
    Learning is retained through recollection, application requires recollection, difficulties are encountered through application and require investigation which is new learning and this requires recollection and future application. The same pattern. Life is funny that way.
