I showed that Japan is one of frontiers of pattern languages
- Many pattern languages has been created in various domain in Japan.
- These Pattern Languages are actually utilized at schools, companies, cafes, hospitals, local communities, and governments in Japan.
And, based on our experience, I present my vision of the Future of Pattern Language. Pattern Languages will be

desire to create, and enables them to participate in creative
activities in various domains.
18. Learning Patterns

40. Fact 2
These Pattern Languages are actually utilized
at schools, companies, cafes, hospitals, local
communities, and governments in Japan.
45. Creative
Society
People could create their own goods, tools, concepts,
knowledge, mechanisms, and ultimately, the future with
their own hands.
Creation would no longer be limited to just companies,
organizations, and government, but could be performed by
each and every individual according to their own needs,
wants, and motivation.
This also means that it is too difficult to survive without
creating anything to solve problems and conflicts in the
complex and dynamically changing society.
Everyday Creativity

We have created 60 pattern languages in various domain
including 1,610 patterns for past 16 years.
48. However, as diverse as these topics are, they are still merely
small fragments within the much larger context of human action
and creation.
Pattern Languages empower people to create things they
desire to create, and enables them to participate in creative
activities in various domains.
49. If more pattern languages are created in various domains, it will
become much easier for people to try engaging in creative
activities in domains which they are not familiar with.
50. From the creativity viewpoint, it can be said that this ability to step
into various creative activities is a new kind of `freedom’.
In this sense, it can be said that pattern language is a tool to enhance
people’s creative ‘freedom’.

ones, such as being well-nourished, avoiding escapable
morbidity and premature mortality, etc., to quite complex
and sophisticated achievements, such as having self-respect,
being able to take part in the life of the community, and so
on.”(Sen, 1992, p.5).

56. “if the achieved functionings constitute a person’s well-
being, then the capability to achieve functionings (i.e. all
the alternative combinations of functionings a person can
choose to have) will constitute the person’s freedom — the
real opportunities — to have well-being.”
(Sen, 1992, p.40).

much easier for people to try engaging in creative activities in domains
which they are not familiar with.
‘Creative Well-being Freedom’
Pattern Languages empower people to create things they desire to
create, and enables them to participate in creative activities in various
domains.
58. Pattern languages help people overcome obstacles
and improves the quality of daily life, thereby
contributing to a higher level of peace in the world.
There may be a day when someone from the pattern
language domain awards the Nobel Peace Prize.

The Future of Pattern Language - 1
60. John Dewey, “Creative democracy: The task before us”, 1939
John Dewey
(1859 – 1952)
In J. Boydston (Ed.), John Dewey: The later works, 1925-1953, volume 14,
Carbondale:Southern Illinois University Press, pp. 224-230
John Dewey claimed that sharing the development of habit
through experience should be at the core of democracy, and
called form of democracy, “Creative Democracy”.
• Richard J. Bernstein, “Creative democracy—the task still before us”,
American Journal of Theology and Philosophy 21 (3):215 - 228,
2000
• Shigeki Uno, Minshushugi no Tsukurikata [How to build
Democracy], in Japanese, Chikuma Shobo, 2013
‘Creative Democracy’
61. “What pragmatists emphasized is that ideas and thoughts are
social in nature. … To answer the question of how ideas can be
social, pragmatists focused on habit. People make decisions as
their actions require them to, and then search for validation. It is
through repeating these actions and finding its recurring
patterns, that habits are formed.”
On Creative Democracy
Shigeki Uno, Minshushugi no Tsukurikata [How to build Democracy], Chikuma Shobom, 2013
“Looking at society as a whole, habits are media which connect
people with one another; a social equipment that becomes a
leverage for social change through the results of various
experiments compiling together. Without awareness, individual’s
beliefs merge, consequently creating a change in society. You
might even say that this is almost democratic.”
62. • Generally, the term “habit” may refer to negative everyday
actions that one cannot easily get rid of, such as smoking and
drinking.
• However, “habit” in terms of pragmatism refers to a broader
concept that points to any general pattern that generates
action.
• This includes subtle actions that we take unconsciously, as well
as actions that we only rarely take.
• Dewey emphasizes that repetition is not a necessary part of
habit.
• The real essence of habit is “an acquired predisposition to
ways or modes of response” (Dewey, 1922, p.42).
Habit
Takashi Iba, Ayaka Yoshikawa, “Constructing the Philosophy of Pattern Language: From the
Perspective of Pragmatism,” PUARL Conference 2016, USA, 2016
63. • Our proposal is to consider the purpose of pattern language as
changing people’s habits or help them form new habits.
• Especially, what we are aiming to do in Pattern Language 3.0 is to
generate habits of actions for certain situations.
• Thus, when creating patterns in Pattern Language 3.0, we must mine
habits that create desirable results and write them as patterns that
describe what action is good for a certain situation.
• The aim is for the reader of a pattern to put it into practice and
transform that action into a habit.
Patterns are for Forming and Changing Habit
Takashi Iba, Ayaka Yoshikawa, “Constructing the Philosophy of Pattern Language: From the
Perspective of Pragmatism,” PUARL Conference 2016, USA, 2016
64. “At the moment when a person is faced with an act of design,
he does not have time to think about it from scratch. He is
faced with the need to act, he has to act fast; and the only way
of acting fast is to rely on the various rules of thumb which he
has accumulated in his mind. In short, each one of us, no
matter how humble, or how elevated, has a vast fabric of rules
of thumb, in our minds, which tell us what to do when it comes
time to act. At the time of any act of design, all we can hope to
do is to use the rules of thumb we have collected, in the best
way we know how.” (Alexander, 1979, p.204)
• A pattern within a pattern language can be thought of as a habit
in pragmatism.
• Alexander points out that a person who performs an act of
design does not think from scratch, but instead uses various
rules of thumb that they have gained from experience.
Takashi Iba, Ayaka Yoshikawa, “Constructing the Philosophy of Pattern Language: From the
Perspective of Pragmatism,” PUARL Conference 2016, USA, 2016
65. “The patterns in the world merely exist. But the same
patterns in our minds are dynamic. They have force. They
are generative. They tell us what to do; they tell us how we
shall, or may, generate them; and they tell us too, that under
certain circumstances, we must create them. Each pattern is
a rule which describe what you have to do generate the
entity which it defines.” (Alexander, 1979, p.182)
• Both habits and patterns in mind lead to action.
Takashi Iba, Ayaka Yoshikawa, “Constructing the Philosophy of Pattern
Language: From the Perspective of Pragmatism,” PUARL Conference 2016, 2016
Pattern language does not only change a person’s individual
actions, but also contributes to the development and/or
transformation of people’s habits over time.
66. Pattern languages support the realization of
Creative Democracy through enabling people
to develop habits through experience and
share this knowledge with each other.

The Future of Pattern Language - 2
68. The purpose of pattern language is not to discover and
represent truths that exist in the world, but to create new
vocabularies that help capture the world.
• Richard Rorty took an anti-representationalist stance and denied
the representationalist claim that truth exists objectively.
• Instead, of representing or expressing the intrinsic
characteristics of the world, Rorty advocated creating a new
vocabulary to describe the world.
Richard Rorty
(1931 – 2007)
Takashi Iba, Ayaka Yoshikawa, “Constructing the Philosophy of
Pattern Language: From the Perspective of Pragmatism,” PUARL
Conference 2016, USA, 2016
Vocabulary matters
69. • Both pragmatism and pattern language emphasize the importance of
creating a vocabulary that can be used within a story.
• In such cases, the dichotomy between truth and value is destroyed.
This is a common line of thinking among pragmatists.
• Rorty points out that the supposed difference between things like
science and poetic expression is meaningless (Rorty, 1979).
Science and Poem
Takashi Iba, Ayaka Yoshikawa, “Constructing the Philosophy of
Pattern Language: From the Perspective of Pragmatism,” PUARL
Conference 2016, USA, 2016
Richard Rorty
(1931 – 2007)
70. • Creating a pattern language is not merely writing in a
scientific manner, but is rather a continuous process of
improving expressions, much like writing poetry.
Patterns have both Scientific and Poetic Aspect
Takashi Iba, Ayaka Yoshikawa, “Constructing the Philosophy of
Pattern Language: From the Perspective of Pragmatism,” PUARL
Conference 2016, USA, 2016
• We can understand the reason Christopher Alexander
decided to create the pattern language format that contains
characteristics of both scientific and poetic statements
rather than mathematical representations.

new form of literature and creative writing, as
various high quality works of patterns are created
and used to enrich our understanding of the world.
Consequently, there may be people from the
domain who wins the Nobel Prize for Literature.
