But that really takes us back to my initial reply.

First of all, there *are* static configurations. For example, in a 
computer there is no way a zero can become a one or vice versa. We have 
even error correcting algorithms in place to avoid just that, so that a 
mail we write at home will get to all others on MD undistorted, and so 
that a computer can run the same loop in a program billions of times 
without getting it wrong. Of course, reality catches up with the 
computer sometimes via a power surge or something, but when a computer 
works, it's static.

Ok, back to the reality stack, the static dynamic interface is actually 
found at every quality event. For example, an oxygen can always split up 
an H2 molecule and put itself between them, but if an oxygen atom finds 
two H2 molecules, something else will decide which H2 molecule is used. 
That "something else" is pretty clear in this instance and is the 
relative distance between them. But the more complex reactions become, 
and the larger molecules that are constructed, the more complex this 
"something else" becomes.

I'm not so eager to talk about birth, life and death of patterns because 
that implies life, and life depends on so many other processes that we 
*can* look deeper into.
