What you say regarding patterns is true compared to human-made thubgs, but I'm not sure that is what is the root attraction.

For me it's the practically endless possibility that I will see or hear (or even smell) something new if I'm using my senses (instead of busy thinking about human problems).

There's little difference betweey explanation and yours, but I selfishly think it's all about our experience.

I have no idea what a "thubgs" is, but I suspect it's a garden. Phone typing is clearly an art that not all possess.

U next to I. B next to n. "Things" is my guess.
