     Yes, 'things' day to day are not known, but I
don't find these unusual occurrences to be disorderly.
 When something unusual happens, it is just that
'unusual', but I don't find it to be unorganized.  By
unorganized, I'm thinking about that which 'doesn't
hold together'.  No matter how much I may try, or
anything may try, if it can't latch anywhere, such as
the act of me understanding I perceive to be an act of
latching, then it is not organized and isn't creating
any kind of recognizable pattern.  Even a pattern that
can't be learned about and would continue to baffle me
would be something I can't latch, the world can't
latch, and it would remain unknown, and that's how the
serenity and innocence of dq remains, yet, sq happens,
too, and the latter is dq organized.  I perceive
latches to be common place, and yes dq is common
place, but I don't see one or the other over-riding
each other.

     What proof do you have of this?  And if it does
occur, in what way has this been understood?
