Paternal Pattern Expiration Date or PPED is, technically, the date at which a son has lived to be older than the his last memory of his father.
This applies specifically to men for whom their father was generally a positive influence, and worthy of patterning after, but who died at an early age. The concept asserts that if a man's father was a strong, responsible role model for manhood, he becomes the measure and definition of what it is to be a man, and the son will use that guide to pattern his own social identity.
The PPED, then, is that date at which the information in that pattern has expired. Perhaps at 25 years, he might have some memory of his father when he was 25 and aspire to be that sort of man. Then again at 30, and 35, he will usually have a good recollection of his father was like at those ages.
