We crave patterns because they can tell us so much: as chemist Peter Atkins noted, they are “the lifeblood of science and the seeds of theories.” Stephen Jay Gould has written of our penchant for pattern: “No other habit of thought lies so deeply within the soul of a small creature trying to make sense of a complex world not constructed for it.” Only humans have the curiosity to seek out patterns in the open-ended way that once led our ancestors to see constellations in the skies, then to infer first the revolution of the Earth from the motion of the stars and planets, then the expansion of the universe, then possibilities beyond our patch of our multiverse. `Page 89
