The cyclic diagonal pattern organizes three positive and three negative products specifically for 3x3 matrices. It is considered a mnemonic because this specific pattern does not extend unchanged to larger matrices; it is a memory device for that particular size.
Conditions: The matrix is a 3x3 square matrix.; The method being discussed is the cyclic diagonal pattern (Rule of Sarrus).
