Abstract
A pattern consists of fundaments and relations. Its similarity to other patterns can be expressed either in terms of relations alone—in which case a modified correlation coefficient, rs, suffices—or in terms of fundaments and relations, where new coefficients, rp and r′p are required. The derivation of a coefficient of pattern similarity, rp, is presented and its properties are investigated, both deductively and in terms of actual data on culture patterns.Keywords
