eli5 why are humans so addicted to patterns?

657 views

I’m sitting here and noticing that almost every bar tender is dancing to the almost exact beat to the music. So in general I’m wondering if anyone knows why we’re so addicted to patterns? From visual to audio and so on, what drives the brain to find and replicate patterns so much? Are other animals addicted to patterns?

Just wanted to throw this in the mix. A video from Kurzgesagt on YouTube in this case about beauty, however it does briefly cover symmetry and patterns.
