I didn't say anything at all about repeated patterns. There are other types of patterns besides repetition. Clearly a sentence like, "My dog ate my homework," or the equivalent predicate in logic, doesn't indicate a repeating pattern. (Unless, of course, the excuse gets used repeatedly.) And yet this is a pattern. I would go so far as to say, it's a pattern made up of a "patchwork" of relationships between several objects and events.
