Are any of these questions relevant to the discussion at hand?

Pattern implies something discernible and regular, i.e being repeated.
Feature implies something discernible.

One that implies repetition.

By studying different aspects of an object, abstracting and creating concepts regarding them and then observing any repetition.

By abstraction.
