The patterns which control a portion of the world, are themselves fairly simple. But when they interact, they create slightly different overall configurations at every place. This happens because no two places on earth are perfectly alike in their conditions. And each small difference, itself contributes to the difference in conditions which the other patterns face.

The unbelievable simplicity of some patterns seems to contradict with the profound complexity of our world. The difference in conditions found at different places, according to Alexander (1979), is key to understanding the complexity that results from relatively simple patterns. Each small difference, itself contributes to the difference in conditions which the other patterns face. References: Alexander, C. (1979). The timeless way of building(Vol. 1).
