Hi Mary,

I would suggest to you that it is quite possible to experience without
subject or objects.  You do it most of the day.  Experience does not need to
entail subject and object, how else would Quality enter into it?  Now, I
assume by unpatterned you mean lack of pattern.  Perhaps you have a
different meaning.  If so, I stand corrected.

Thanks,
Mark
