[Pattern-language] pattern mashup remix ~~~ results from a tiny proto experiment

[Doug Schuler]

Thanks to my trusty shuffle routine I was able to quickly generate some mashup / remixes of three pattern languages.

73 Groupworks patterns (which can be recognized below because no number precedes them)
136 Liberating Voices patterns 
253 A Pattern Language patterns (which can be recognized below because the patterns are written in upper case letters)

Obviously the shuffling program would be drawing from the various pattern languages roughly in proportion to how many patterns each has. Thus APL should supply about 55% of the responses, LV (30%) and GW (16%) of the  patterns.  In case 2 below, the program is drawing from the same number of patterns from the three pattern languages. 

The idea — if there's an idea at all — is that the patterns could be used together in ways that would resonate in various circumstances. (PS. it's synectics, not bibliomancy)

I guess it's a kind of an experiment.

Of course people usually select their own patterns to use — but they could also start with a random set and remove the ones that aren't relevant.

Let me know  if this is interesting at all — and share any reactions you have.

Thanks!
