If there is a rhythmic vibration of an industrial piece of machinery, how is that different (from a "definition" standpoint) from a rhythmic drumming? I think you are mixing up pattern with cognition. But even if we consider cognition as a point of contention, the machinery has a purpose and a role and as such its manifestation is not meaningless at all.
