regularities
Predictable repeated occurrences
Regularities are patterns or features that recur consistently.
Scientists look for regularities in data to form hypotheses.
The word appears often in academic and technical contexts: statistical regularities, regularities in language acquisition.
A regularity is the opposite of an anomaly—something that follows an expected pattern rather than deviating from it.
