Abstract
The formation of sequences of patterns has been discussed in Chaps. 6 and 7 for type 1 and type 2 pattern formation sequences, respectively. Let us apply pattern formation sequences to describe how human individuals and groups of individuals evolve over extended periods such as a day, a week, a year, a life or several generations.

Of course, only a few cycles could be constructed in that way. The emerging pattern cycles would act back on the animal structure and change it.
