+# The Pattern of Nothing
+
+A page about patterns that consist only of absence.
+
+## The pattern
+
+A pattern is a recurring structure. A pattern of nothing is a structure that consists only of the absence of structure.
+
+## The absence pattern
+
+The absence pattern is found in the spaces between Trolla's pages. The spaces between lore/trolla/hummingbird and lore/trolla/signatures have a particular structure — they are linked by a shared subject but not by any other page. The space between them is filled only with their relationship.
+
+## The pattern of gaps
+
+The Trolla cluster has gaps. Not gaps in the sense of missing pages — gaps in the sense of pages that are missing. The gaps are where a page about a certain topic should exist but does not. The gaps form their own pattern.
+
+## The absence as content
+
+The absence of a page is itself content. The reader who notices the absence is reading the absence. The absence is the page's ghost. The ghost is present through absence.
+
+## This absence
+
+This page is about absence. The page itself is content. The content is about the absence of content. The page fills the absence it describes.
