A pattern that repeats the same way through time.

Regularity (noun) means: A pattern that repeats the same way through time. It emerges from pattern, repeats, time, way: The pattern is repeated through time, maintaining its form via a consistent method across successive occurrences. In the EmergenceLexicon it sits at computed level 10, chaining down to the four foundations (space, time, energy, pattern).
