Micro Patterns

Think about how a single raindrop contains the same patterns as an ocean, or how a moment of decision reflects life's larger choices. Micro patterns are the smallest observable units of the three-body structure - not because they're simple, but because they're immediate. Let's explore how to recognize and work with them.

Individual Thoughts/Actions

Notice the three-body pattern in immediate experience:

  • A clear thought (Known)

  • Its possible implications (Knowable)

  • Its unexplored potential (Unknown)

Watch this work in:

  • How ideas evolve

  • When decisions form

  • As actions unfold

  • While attention moves

Immediate Interactions

See the pattern in moment-to-moment engagement:

  • Current exchange (Known)

  • Possible responses (Knowable)

  • Unexpected potential (Unknown)

Experience this in:

  • Each word as you speak

  • Every gesture you make

  • Any response you give

  • All choices you face

Local Effects

Observe immediate consequences:

  • Direct results (Known)

  • Potential impacts (Knowable)

  • Unforeseen possibilities (Unknown)

Notice this in:

  • How movement creates change

  • When attention affects experience

  • As choices have consequences

  • While patterns propagate

Practical Application

Try this exercise:

  1. Pick any immediate experience:

    • A single breath

    • One movement

    • A specific thought

    • A particular choice

  2. Notice its structure:

    • What's directly present?

    • What's potentially available?

    • What remains unknown?

  3. Watch how it:

    • Develops

    • Influences

    • Connects

    • Evolves

Working With Micro Patterns

Remember:

  • Small doesn't mean simple

  • Each moment is complete

  • Patterns reflect at all scales

  • Detail contains depth

  • Immediate is intimate

The goal isn't to analyze micro patterns but to recognize their natural expression while appreciating how they reflect and participate in larger patterns.

Key Recognition Points

Notice how micro patterns:

  • Form naturally

  • Connect easily

  • Influence subtly

  • Change quickly

  • Reflect wholly

Practical Integration

In any immediate experience:

  1. Feel its completeness

  2. Notice its connections

  3. Allow its movement

  4. Trust its intelligence
