We are pattern-seeking animals.” ([Dreyfuss, 2011, p. 4](zotero://select/library/items/9TSM2DQ3)) Humans are wired to detect patterns. Even when they are not real. Sometimes the patterns lead to meaningful discoveries, sometimes they lead to false conclusions. Although in all cases, patterns help us built structures, in music, art, literature, narrative structures, myths, they play a significant role in traditional and experimental [[Storytelling]], they facilitate learning by detecting meaning in chaos.
