Welcome @sporb! Ah yes we’ve [discussed Alexander’s architectural patterns a little before](https://forum.algorithmicpattern.org/t/patterns-in-architecture/221), and talked a little about fractals as well, especially in the context of architecture and design within Africa and the African diaspora.

In this thread though I wanted to focus on strategies for aligning sequences in particular.
