# regular (frequency)

a thing that is the same pattern again over time

- Computed level: L1 (depth in the emergence graph, not abstraction)
- Status: review  ·  Domain: regular  ·  Arena: EmergenceLexicon

## Emergence
**Emerges from:** [pattern](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-pattern.regularity), [time](https://emergencemachine.com/tools/lexicon/what-is-the-meaning-of-time.dimension)

**Through:** the pattern is again in time

**Novel properties:**
- uniform intervals
- predictable recurrence

## Examples
- The orbit of Halley's Comet repeats every 76 years with predictable precision. *(astronomy)*
- The daily opening of the London Stock Exchange at 8:00 AM since 1875 maintains trading rhythm. *(economics)*
- The human circadian rhythm aligns wake-sleep cycles to a 24-hour period despite environmental shifts. *(biology)*
