Pattern Language
Version 1.0.0 · Updated 2026-07-30
CORE DEFINITION
A collection of general solutions to common problems. Each pattern describes a recurring problem in a specific context and the core of the solution, allowing the solution to be used a million times without repeating the same work. Scaffolding role: It is a modular encapsulation of experience. Whether in writing, programming, or management, building your own 'pattern library' distinguishes experts from novices. It allows us to build large systems with mature micro-solutions, like assembling building blocks.

Proposed by Christopher Alexander, it encapsulates recurring problem-context-solution triads into interrelated patterns, forming a composable language that makes experience reusable.
