I fail to see how an agent can have unpatterned experience. "Awareness
of" is what you get *after* the Quality event. How can awareness take
place before Quality has created values? That would permit Quality to
be *seen* but that's impossible; only values can be seen. We know
about Quality because we see everything that it creates; we don't see
Quality itself.

Hi Andy,
I would suggest that we do see Quality when we see beauty -- the "aesthetic" 
portion of the aesthetic continuum. Neither Quality nor beauty can be defined, 
but we know they exist. So the analogous relationship of these two non-patterns 
works for me.
