Patterns are ever-changing, relative and impermanent.  Ever-changing, relative and impermanent does not mean without similarity.  Experiences can be very different and still hang together as similar to other experiences.  The repetition and similarity create the pattern, yes?

To chase down all aspects of a pattern/process is too unwieldy, so an object of study is created binding the definition to a pattern's core similarities.  All that is dissimilar from the core and all emotional responses and all anomalies are disregarded to make this new entity laboratory ready.  As time, money and emotions are invested in this entity it takes on the aura of having an independent existence.  But this 'entity' is in no way real.
