A pattern is known as isominimal if it is pointwise least among all patterns isomorphic to it. The ''core'' is the set of ordinals which occur in an isominimal pattern.<ref name="ElementaryPatterns">T. J.

A characterization of the core for additive second-order patterns is not currently known, but Wilken expects that it is equal to the proof-theoretic ordinal of KPI (axiomatization of "admissible limits of admissible universes").<ref name="PurePatternsOrderTwo" /><sup>p.23</sup><ref name="PureSigma2Beyond" /><sup>p.6</sup> (Although the second source claims that this ordinal is obtained from collapsing \(\omega\)-many weakly inaccessible cardinals - check this)
 
==Reflection criterion==
Let \(a \subseteq_{fin} b\) hold iff \(a\) is a finite subset of \(b\), and use interval notation for ordinals. \(\alpha <_1 \beta\) holds iff for all \(X \subseteq_{fin} [0,\alpha)\) and \(Y \subseteq_{fin} [\alpha,\beta)\), there exists a \(\tilde Y\subseteq_{fin} [0,\alpha)\) such that \(X \cup Y \cong X \cup \tilde Y\), where \(\cong\) is isomorphism with respect to the language of first-order patterns. (I think <ref name="OrdinalArithmeticSigmaOne" /> is a citation)
 
==Stability==
It has been known since (Carlson 2001) that certain variants of patterns of resemblance involving stability result in a core isomorphic to that of the usual patterns of resemblance. In particular, if \(\alpha\preceq\beta\) is interpreted as \(L_\alpha\prec_{\Sigma_1}L_\beta\), then the core of \((\textrm{Ord},0,+,\leq,\preceq)\) is isomorphic to the core of additive first-order patterns,<ref name="ElementaryPatterns" /><sup>p.20</sup> so it has order type \(\psi_0(\Omega_\omega)\). This may be seen as somewhat similar to the connection between BMS and stability used in Yto's termination proof for BMS.
