What are repetition, pattern, and rhythm?

How do they relate to each other?
Repetition refers to one object or shape repeated over
and over again in a composition. This can create
interest, movement, and unity.
Pattern is a combination of elements, motifs or shapes
repeated in a recurring and regular arrangement.
Rhythm--is a combination of elements repeated, but
with variations.
