[MD] Patterns

[Ham Priday]

Marsha (Magnus mentioned) --

> And don't you think properties like weight, atomic number,
> color and temperature are patterns of thought?  It seems
> to me conceptual thought is responsible for the patterns of
> value that defined and maintain these properties.

[Craig]:
> I see it the other way.  Biological patterns emerge from the inorganic; 
> social from the biological & intellectual from
> the social.  Burgundy is deeper than pink, but the concept
> of 'burgundy' is not deeper than the concept of 'pink'.

[Marsha]:
> I can see it that way too but, it's based on analogy
> which is conceptual.  I think the MOQ is a worldview
> that is much better than a distinct mind/matter split. ...  I have no 
> desire to change your view.  I'm trying to get myself, maybe with your 
> help, and the help of others,
> to dig deeper.

You've gone beyond the "poetic" to the "intuitive" stage, Marsha.  Now 
you're thinking like a philosopher.  So is Magnus, incidentally. You're both 
beginning to realize that existence is experiential, that objective reality 
is a conceptual phenomenon.

Keep up the good work!
