Spatial! A given +attern contains' or deines' certain s+atial entities!The relationshi+s are deined among these s+atial entities!
-eliaility! The essence o these relationshi+s is that the$ must bereliable' and true! The$ cannot be arbitrar$ relationshi+s 4as the$ mightoten be in a single +erson(s design! The$ need to be suicientl$ true'so that we can trust them' and would want to ind these relationshi+s+resent in an$ version o an$ cam+us that might be generated b$ this
language!Consistency! It is not necessaril$ eas$ to deine a s$stem o
+atterns which is consistent! Hor e8am+le' i one +attern asserts acertain relationshi+ between two entities' and another +attern asserts aurther relationshi+ between the same entities' but one which isinconsistent with the irst' then that s$stem o two +atterns isinconsistent' and can onl$' with great diicult$' work to generate real+h$sical conigurations!
Inconsistency! Hrom time to time' two +atterns which are +h$sicall$
inconsistent ma$ be rereshing and lie-giving! This ha++ens becausethe contradiction generates vigor and o+ens new ideas!
Completeness! A s$stem o +atterns is com+lete i it containssuicient relationshi+s to allow a well-ormed coniguration to be built!
Coherence! A s$stem o +atterns is coherent i the relationshi+s+eciied amongst the +atterns tend' most o the time' to generate easil$gras+able mathematical conigurations!
