The Goblin Akashic Record on pattern

Look, I'm just transcribing. The goblins dictated this article about pattern in shifts. Any errors are theirs. Any insights are also theirs. I am simply the secretary.

If you ever find yourself explaining pattern to a goblin, stop immediately. You are giving them ammunition.
