[MD] psst, Squonk, Over here

[Stephen Hannon]

Hello Mark, Marsha

I have thought about how to describe the SQ patterns as well.  In my
essay I introduced the term "elasticity"; perhaps that might help us
here?  My thought is that lower levels have less elastic patterns,
higher levels have more elastic patterns.

I think the point we are all trying to make is that even the SQ
patterns change, even if they stay static long enough for us to come
up with names for them.  They are "static" but "temporary," perhaps?

Some thoughts,
Steve H
