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.
