Greeting Bo,

A pattern has a coming and a going.  Its strength is based on its 
relationship with other patterns.  It has attributes and aggregates 
which are also patterns.  It is most probably an aggregate to another 
pattern.  It is in a constant state of change.

Please explain how static patterns of value are independent and 
'exist very much in themselves'.  Please do not use the SOL because 
it has not been sanctioned by anyone.
