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 ↺

Trial and error are how we all learn, and falling short on a goal helps kids find out that it’s not fatal.
