I think this idea that great patterns depend on not the complexity or how great each individual pattern \u201cpart\u201d is, but rather how all of it becomes combined as one. Another big idea from the text was that the most \u201cdelightful\u201d work lies between \u201cboredom and confusion\u201d. This is something that I will keep in mind to guide my process, and I think it applies to the greater sector of generative and visual art.
