Learning to recognize patterns and regularities in shapes prepares children for more advanced math learning in the future.

paradigmatic shape/s
Therefore, if a shape is still needed but a geometric object is not needed anymore, the Shape property should be set to Shape. Empty or Shape.Infinite. These are special immutable shapes that will never raise Shape.
It probably has to do with immutable features of geometry and math. For instance if reality is some weird 62-dimensional polyhedron, there are fixed geometric laws that pin down the number of facets and vertices it can have.

Discussion
From the reference below: "Patterns help children understand change and that things happen over time .... Patterns help children make predictions because they begin to understand what comes next."

I think I'd translate "lovmessige former" as "geometric shapes" and "lovmessigheter" as "predictable repetitions or predictability".
