Pattern Understanding [PDC Preview]

[@B30pt87]

OMG That was one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. All the way back to the Big Bang - it works!

Proof that we no longer need to attend mystery schools to learn the fundamental workings of the Universe..just a good quality PDC :P

i feel like a part of my brain was empty without this information. wow, never knew that I was missing a deep dive into patterns. Very well done, thank you.

Multiple moments of "OH WOW!!!" I have so much respect for you sir. You and Bill Mollison blew my mind a decade ago, and you still do today.

Brilliant video. My 15 year old daughter is mad into science and will just love this. Thank you.

[@craigmetcalfe1749]

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!

[@jamesriordan5461]

ha! this is my exact profession and dream as well. I’m a platform engineer and am more interested in bringing technology and automation to permaculture. Using technology to enhance nature, not replace it

[@shabnamnikkhoo2169]

Thank you so so so much! Can't express how much I'm appreciating you and Bill Mollison. I wish one day I can meet you. You are showing the way for humanity and life to continue and I'm grateful for having access to your teachings here!

[@soniarodriguez2072]

These are subjects that I never knew I wanted to learn, but am so greatful for having learned it. You are a brilliant teacher. You make me want to keep learning. Thank you.

All my life I’ve seen these patterns but until now it’s come together in a positive explosion. Cheers mate

[@linellel1193]

1. **Fractal patterns: In nature you can find fractal patterns that develop from small waves to large storm waves. This pattern shows that similar structures recur on different scales. 2. **Fibonacci Spirals: The growth of plants often follows the Fibonacci sequence, which is reflected in the arrangement of leaves and the shape of shells. This mathematical relationship creates efficient structures. 3. **Trunks and branches: The growth of branches on trees or the course of rivers shows how the complexity and number of branches along the main axis increase, which improves the efficiency of resource transport. 4. **Net structures**: Hexagonal shapes, such as those found in honeycombs, are created by contraction and lateral tension. These patterns are also found in tree bark and other natural structures. 5. **Ice crystals: Snowflakes are unique six-sided structures that vary in shape. They illustrate how infinite variations arise from a common pattern. 6. **Spheres: Spherical shapes such as planets or water droplets are created by gravity and surface tension, resulting in optimal volume distribution with minimal surface area. 7. **Tessellations: These geometric patterns repeat and are found in the structure of bones and living systems, showing how people are structurally connected in three dimensions. 8. **Growth patterns in trees: The pattern of nutrients and sugars flowing in opposite directions in a tree creates a spiral dynamic of movement that supports growth. 9. **Tree rings**: These rings document a tree's environmental history, with the width of the rings indicating growth conditions such as drought or storms. These patterns are examples for how natural forms of fundamental

What made scientists like Einstein or philosophers like Decartes stand out was how they managed to simplify a world of complexity in a single phrase or equation. You Sir, have done the same, through visual means!

Einstein was a phony. He even admitted to it.

I’m here because Billy Bond told me to watch your video about patterns. After watching it, my mind is reeling. It reminds me how God’s creation is infinite, and how little I actually know.

Human kind needs to appreciate and practice the fundamentals of organics and permaculture, nature, its cycles, patterns and rewards. Lets try to keep it simpler and more understandable to the seething masses so the chances of uptake are higher.

[@manjichromagnon5480]

Try and realise who creates the seething masses first. 109 5 pointed star Epstein Kissenger Netanyahu

[@paddygora8413]

@@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.

[@gm2407]

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.

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.

Never work against the pattern/material/structure/... The greatest artists, politicians, mathematicians and the smartest people that ever walked on this planet(or the moon), all had been touched by this Nature's principle. Especially when you'd want to "mani-pulate" the context. Speaking about patterns, Geoff can you PLEASE do a section on "weed"- plants, that is everything that's being sprayed on with RoundUp because it's "weed"...? Or how to get rid of unwanted plants in your garden/city(/continent), but at the same time suggesting it in "Nature's language/tongue"? "Water chooses the easiest way" A wise man said. "So the truth must be simple" Replied a simple man.

as brilliant and eye opening as the core model pattern part (from ~19 minutes) was, from perspectives of artistic imagery, to various cultural uses (especially oriented with Nature), to our own anatomy. however, around 26 minutes in, i got lost with mr. lawton trying to represent nutrient exchanges in trees by connecting it with the infinity pattern that i think could be misleading/confusing like (more subjective) art or poetry.. but hey, could also be slightly more inspirational to override that bit of confusion :) to continue on a + note tho, i like how this lecture flowed in a "full circle" form from (@ 2:08) where he defines pattern as... (@ ~28 minutes)... interactions at THE EDGES, right? / you know? i'd like to think that this type of education for young people today is similar to my.. math & science-like recognitions as a student (which'd then have us hope to be like john nash in the movie "a beautiful mind")... and so, maybe they'd (hope to) be better observers of Nature / our environment.. to see the world from such a unique (and needed) perspective... whoa!
