A joyful jolt of recognition when someone is so perfectly themselves that you can’t keep it in and have to react.
It’s like cute aggression, but instead of being triggered by cuteness, it happens when someone’s words, mannerisms, or vibe are so them that your brain locks onto their wavelength and you feel an irresistible urge to acknowledge it, point it out, or physically express it.
It is more of a feeling than something that can be expressed in text. You can feel pattern joy silently, but show your feelings physically, as with aggression: squeezing your hands, shrinking, using facial expressions, etc. Your brain feels so rewarded for seeing the pattern that it overflows with energy that you want to splash out.

Example 1:
Ryan Reynolds makes another sarcastic Deadpool-style comment in real life.
"Pattern joy. This man is just Deadpool without the mask."
Example 2:
Zendaya laughs in that very specific, soft half-laugh she always does in interviews.
"I feel pattern joy. This is such a stereotypical Zendaya that I'm starting to think this alien has trained on all the information about her and is pretending to be her."
Example 3:
"I feel pattern joy so much. Emma Watson tilts her head and laughs softly whenever she’s slightly embarrassed, just like always. Do you see it? I'm not even her fan, but it's like I've known her for so long! I'm proud of my empathy power, lol"
