From the above thesaurus it seems that the English term refers largely to two types of object, either a model/characteristic or archetype form, or a decorative design/created progression. The first meaning focuses on the distinction between a pattern and another one. The second centers on the objects which may be arranged in such a formation.
Pattern is a term which is often used in relation to noticing common (or pseudo-common) elements in thoughts. In that way one could say that a pattern of thought may be one where the thinker always ultimately refers to a solid point (dogmatic or not). Another of the many possibilities is to claim that while a discussion on the surface contains many different pieces of information, perhaps it can also be observed as one where all or virtually all the statements forming it are given (consciously or not) in a similar way of expansion.
Patterns are very much used in any allegoric writing. While a sole symbol is not (by definition) part of a pattern, a full metaphor usually is aimed to present itself as crucially having the same pattern as that it was given as a metaphor of.
Some writers use interwoven metaphors, which can produce some notable effect on their reader.
So, to get back to the title of the thread and the question there, how do you, personally, define the term "pattern", as a reflection of the way you yourself use it? :)
