Emergent pattern: a macro-level structure or relationship
Emergent pattern: a macro-level structure or relationship that arises from micro-level interactions within a collection of notes, where the pattern cannot be predicted or reduced to any individual entry and only becomes visible when notes are reviewed as a body of evidence over time
Why This Is a Definition
This definition precisely establishes what constitutes an 'emergent pattern' by identifying its genus (macro-level structure from micro-interactions), its differentia (only visible in collective review, not individual entries), and its essential characteristic (arising from time-based review and cognitive distance). It distinguishes this from simple repetition and aligns with the lesson's focus on patterns revealed through temporal review.
