Mimicked Patterns

Something happens if you pay attention to an LED candle, and this is something that happens with many types of creations that mimic nature. You can pick up on the pattern of the flickering light, and begin to anticipate how exactly it will flicker. This eventually causes the light to lose its charm. After enough repetitions, the flicker becomes boring. Better not to pay attention to it at all, but let its effects continue in the background.

Predictable patterns lose their charm and become boring upon concentrated and repeated analysis. So a product may concern itself completely with generating ever newer and sophisticated patterns, while the comparable patterns in nature are always changing in subtle ways, and which escape analysis and mastery, maintaining their positions in that ever-elusive realm of mystery and charm.
