      I don't understand though why any part of those patterns could not be part of the same one infinite pattern. Since it never repeats itself and is infinite, it means that any arrangement we see could be / is part of the flat out infinity of those arrangemnts.

The video tells you that you won't ever be able to find a unique recurrent pattern that you could translate and create a bigger pattern with.

Taught kids tables by using patterns, and colouring them.
