A trend | Comment 5 of 15 |
As DJ last interpreted it, I found some trends in the beginning and end.

The end goes like this for the whole pattern:
/\
/-\
\-/
\/
And it repeats again and again.

In the beginning of each row, the following trend shows.
/\
/-\
/\
And it continues until the ninth row, where a \/ appears. I'm not sure what's special about nine, except that it's 3^2, but then 4 is 2^2 and 1 is 1^2, and I don't see exceptions in those rows.

As for the middle, I found nothing
