It's not possible to give an example of an unpattern.  That's kind of the
point.  You see, SOM is all about patterns.  Explaining patterns, examining
patterns, comparing and contrasting patterns.  By definition, SOM can't
address an 'unpattern'.  The reason we have so much trouble communicating
the essence of 'unpatterns' to SOMists is precisely because they cannot be
addressed in the realm of patterns.  The first cut at Dynamic Quality is
experience.  In the instant we've 'experienced', it becomes one of 2 things
in the second cut - a subject or an object.  That's unfortunate, because
once we've sliced things up as subjects and objects, we can no longer talk
about Quality, or Values, or Morals.  We're hard-wired that way.  Not our
fault, just our disability.
