    This document discusses patterns found in nature and how different fields study these patterns. It defines pattern as the ordered arrangement of objects or events in time and space that results from pressure between two elements. It provides examples of how astronomers, physicists, biologists, and meteorologists study patterns in their fields. Permaculture is described as studying natural world patterns to design sustainable human settlements. Specific natural patterns like toroidal, nets, meanders, and branching are also mentioned.
