4. Principle of Expansion/Inclusion: patterns need to expand. The more inclusive the pattern, the better.
5. Principle of Low Entropy: patterns love order.
That's it. It's exhaustive. I think the additional 2 that Steve has is just a fluff  . |
I think the above list deserves a little bit elaboration.
While the list seem to be unrelated to personal development, it actually has everything to do with it. From those fundamental principles, many of the other traits/principles suggested in this thread can be derived.
For example:
- Love = a pattern expressing unity/no separation with other pattern (#1, #2, #3).
- Courage = a pattern expressing expansion (#1, #2, #4).
- Creativity = a pattern expressing its expressiveness (#1, #3).
- Pro-activity = a pattern expressing expressiveness and expansion in the purpose of maintaining self-order (#1, #4, #5).
- Purpose = a pattern expressing its inclination towards a greater pattern (#1, #4).
- The Whole Existence = a single pattern that is the superset of all patterns, including itself (Principle #1).
What do you think? Can you disprove it?
