Patterns in Software Explained

Routines are what we live every day. These can be short run, such as going to work and eating, as well as long run, such as dressing warm for winter or even watch a son or daughter grow. Even though sometimes an event might seem out of the routine, in most cases it has already occurred somewhere else, maybe in another era. In the case of long run routines where the loop cannot be seen clearly it is better to be noticed on a group of people rather than one single person, since the probability of having a particular event such as watching a child grow is larger. Therefore from these routines one can evaluate some patterns.
By means of patterns one can predict what’s next. These can be made by means of using simple calculations and maybe some charts, or by means of a computer system or software. For software to be most efficient it must impersonate and adapt to normal life. Hence some sort of translation must be made to turn real life into computer language. This common language is mainly made up of patterns and rules. There are mainly two types of software, the primitive and most common type is software that follows a predefined set of patterns and rules, whereas a more advanced but rarer software is one that follows a set of predefined set of rules and can recognize patterns independently (Artificial Intelligence).
Building a system that can recognize a pattern is very complex since a computer cannot think on its own initiative (it can only do this, if it is instructed to do so). Thus if a computer system was to analyze a pattern from happening events, it will take samples. If there is an abnormal event, a human must include a rule in the system so that it will ignore this event otherwise the pattern will be completely wrong. Unlike humans computer cannot generate completely random events, and their random feature is like the outcomes of a standard balanced six face dice, that is a random number between a minimum (1) and a maximum (6). This random number is not a true random, in fact an average of a batch of random number between the same maximum and minimum will approximately be equal to the average of the maximum and minimum (i.e. (N numbers between Max and Min)/N ≈ (Max + Min)/2 ). Therefore one can say that this random is a limited random.
Computers where created to aid humans in everyday life, and to complete tasks that would take ages for men to complete. Computers are not as flexible as human beings since they need to follow patterns. But then again human life is filled with patterns, thus software can replace many human tasks. The drawback is that it is difficult to identify all the patterns in life.
