Oh no, please keep it coming. Very interested in patterns. Of course
the interest is in transformation of patterns.
A few things come to mind. I've always enjoyed Charles Ames essays in
Leonardo Music Journal. Here's one that I won't keep up forever:

Ames' interest is in statistical and probabilistic patterns.
Out-of-print and therefore expensive to acquire, Peter Eisenman looks
at extrusion, twisting, extension, interweaving, displacement,
disassembling, shear, morphing, interference, intersection,
projection, torquing, distortion, superposition, nesting, warping,
repetition, shifting, scaling, imprinting, slippage, transformation,
rotation, doubling, inversion, mapping, artificial excavation,
folding, grafting, tracing, marking, layering, montage, voiding,
decomposition, blurring, striation, gridding and laminar flow:

Leyton argues that every object has the memory of its transformations
of which symmetry is the key, and proceeds in mathematical fashion, to
undo the marks of time:
