Pattern build-test-learn

You might say: study loop, catalogue-practice-review cycle

Pattern build-test-learn is the repeatable study cycle: name a configuration, test it in a puzzle or position, play or analyse it in context, and feed the result back into the catalogue. It prevents a catalogue from becoming a static list.

Ask
What pattern is being built, which position tests it, and what evidence changes the next version?

Loop: cycle

Pattern catalogue → Puzzle training → Game analysis → Pattern catalogue ↺
