A spatial sequence refers to a set of events separated in space - irrespective of their separation in time. A time sequence is the other way around. Sequences need not repeat themselves, but are more interesting to many people if they are. An example of a repeating spatial sequence may be the pattern of bricks in a wall. The pattern repeats itself after some distance. An example of a repeating time sequence is the seasons of the year.
Something that repeats it's self is redundant.

Areas of sunshine and shadow vary according to the movement of the sun throughout the day, and that is pattern that repeats itself every day with slight variations as seasons change.
If a pattern repeats itself, it is considered periodic. Periodic patterns follow a predictable sequence of elements that repeats at regular intervals.
A cycle is a sequence of events that repeats itself in a predictable pattern. This could be natural cycles like the changing of seasons or the water cycle, or man-made cycles like a washing machine cycle or the phases of a traffic light.
A sequence of events that repeats itself is known as a cycle or a loop. This repeating pattern can occur in various contexts, like nature, mathematics, or programming.
A sequence of events that repeats itself is known as a cycle.
Watch the pattern until it repeats itself.
It the pattern continues as ssa ssa, then 's' would be next in the sequence. This is only if the pattern is a recurring pattern. If the pattern continues without recurrence of the given sequence, then 'a' would be next, because if 's' repeats itself twice, then 'a' would also.
This is known as a cycle.

The concept of a pattern is a subjective thing. For example 1,2,1,2,1,2 is a pattern, so is 0,1, 0,0,1, 0,0,0,1, 0,0,0,0,1, 0,0,0,0,0,1 (which never repeats itself). But is 31,28,31,30,31,30,31,31,30,31,30,31 (days in a month)? Some people may say yes, others no.
If you have a pattern like cat dog cat dog and it circles back, it means that the sequence repeats itself in a cyclical manner. In this case, the pattern would continue alternating between cat and dog.
