Platt:
A few questions. A "bonding and decay" of what? 

Ron:
We can only observe the process so I have no idea of what it actually is
in fact I am not able to conceive of it.

Platt:
Should I not "cling" to the 
static pattern called "mind?"  

Ron;
when I say cling, I mean not able to let go, when we freely
use or not use  static patterns we do it for convenience
with a broader intent.

Platt:
How does DQ "distort" what it has created?

Ron:
Dq does not create, it is. perception of it is a distortion of it.
so if we observe the process of patterns and not the form of them
we gain a more accurate understanding.
