You mean mogo's 3x3 patterns I guess; the discussion here is about pattern databases for biasing the research in the tree (patterns with size until 19x19) and how they cumulate with Rave in 19x19. Essentially, MoGo, Mango, Zen, CrazyStone use a automatically built pattern database, whereas ManyFaces use a mix between an automatically built pattern database and a handcrafted pattern database. Mogo, ManyFaces, CrazyStone use Rave values; I don't know for Mango and Zen.
