After some serious contemplation and inquiry it seems to me that the only real pattern in clusters is that there is NO pattern.
Now, you may have to talk to one of your math theory friends to understand this, but ask them about "chaos theory" and see if it doesn't apply to all the reported causes and cures for clusters.
This takes a leap of faith, but perhaps clusters are one of the last bits of chaos left from before the "big bang", or creation, or what ever there was before there was anything.
I will yield to anyone who can say with certainty what these things are, where they come from and why we experience them. I have exhaused all logical explainations. I did not want to accept this kind of theory but here I am. Logic, science and medicine only go so far. The best investigative minds on earth eventually get to the same kind of resolution. Look at the "otherwise" case in the methodology of the FBI, Sherlock Holmes, Spock, Plato, et al. Don't they all eventually come down to this?
I will certainly entertain comments on this, but mean while, I will use this as my "working explaination" for coping with the pain.
