hidden patterns
Obscured underlying structures

The phrase appears in data science, psychology, and conspiracy thinking alike: The algorithm revealed hidden patterns in customer behavior.
Finding hidden patterns can yield genuine insight or fuel unfounded speculation—pattern recognition shades easily into pattern invention.
