Imagine the point when the screen is almost entirely filled up by the different pieces, because you're not really that good at Tetris. Imagine it's a city, and you're seeing it from above.

Imagine narrow streets separating all the pieces, and that the unfilled spaces are squares and parks.

By the way, according to this guy reading the Pattern Language makes you more qualified than four years at university:
