Pattern language

In its most broadest sense, pattern langauge is used to mean a system of paterns that are able to be interpreted to have meaning other than just the patern. It can be a patern which is observed through any combination or single sense: most commonly including sight, sound, and touch, however may also include taste and smell.

Sight

THe most obvious form of sight-based pattern langauge comes in the form of writing. Nearly every language has a unique written form, which gramatically follows the spoken form.
