Abstract
The present invention implements, in a trend or pattern trigger device or system, the generation of hypotheses automatically while considering any collection of data by automatically assessing with templates or charts the presence of patterns in the data without a priori postulation of what the pattern might be. The trend or pattern examination templates or charts contain quantifiable thresholds for data or change in data so that trends or patterns in data can be discerned inductively and automatically without preconceived notions of what or where the patterns or trends might be.
