Pattiducking

Pattern generation by deductive and inductive reasoning. Persons adept at pattiducking often become professional synthesizers and are favorites of the Dilettante Dept.

By concentrating on the patterns inherent in all phenomenon, pattiduckers can come to sweeping conclusions concerning current and future events. Pattiduckers are not concerned with rote memorization of facts but rather discerning the pattern facts fall into when considered as a whole.

Most Pattiduckers make good use of reference works and computational aids to compensate for their disinterest with memorization.
