Steve,
   
  An example:
   
  Case 1: Consider a color blind individual staring at a computer screen. The screen is blank except for a square graphic in the middle. The square graphic appears to be static to the color blind individual.
   
  Case 2: But to a person with normal vision the square is cycling through various shades of red, let's say.
   
  In the first case, the graphic is both static and a pattern.
   
  In the second case, the graphic is "dynamic" in some sense, yet seemingly still the same pattern (a square).
   
  I guess that's what I'm getting at by suggesting a "weak" split between the static and dynamic.
   
  Contracting the parameters "static" and "pattern" to "patterned" and "unpatterned" we might get into trouble.
   
  What say you?

When we talk about static patterns of value it may be
redundant to say both "static" and "pattern." I think
that you could substitute "patterned" for static and
"unpatterned" for dynamic. It may help to think of
patterns in dynamic/static tension.

Steve
