Patterns depend upon innumerable causes and conditions (patterns), depend upon parts and the collection of parts (patterns), depend upon conceptual designation (patterns). !Patterns have no independent existence!  Further, these patterns represent "what works" depending upon on an individual's static pattern of life history.

Gotcha

Well, here we get into an awareness of Reality as it presents itself to us.  I consider a conceptual framework to be part of reality.  So I would say that the dichotomy is real since we create it.  Else wise we are stuck in a system not of our own doing.  What we create conceptually is as real as what causes us to create it.  It is a continuum, if you will.  We cannot separate our musings from everything else.  To do so gives us more power than I think we have.  Our thought process is DQ in action, IMO.

Indeed the split between DQ and sq is a dichotomy.  As an analogy, possibly DQ is that from within, and sq is that from outside.  I will have to think about this a bit to see how the rhetoric works.

Yes, I can see from your posts that it is indeed useful.
