Depending on how dry you see things, you can see some patterns reappear throughout different contexts and situations. Recently, a friend told me about how she and a friend of hers entered the house of a young man giving a party when that young man was the target of her friend's amorous advances - they are a couple up to this day. It occured to me that the underlying basic pattern is no different from that we used in the army when training how to free wounded or other persons in house-to-house fighting situations. Twisted thinking? Not so. Pattern can be an excellent tool in translating contexts which can be an excellent tool in solution finding. Now just don't confuse that with simply applying existing patterns to a situation. In most cases, that doesn't solve the situation and doesn't give you new ideas either.
