I accept that these are conventional (static) notions, but not Ultimately real.  While living within a conventional culture it seems wise to sustain social and biological patterns whenever necessary for one will be held responsible to that level's "moral" code (laws and punishment. )

I understand static patterns to represent a collection of interdependent, ever-changing particular momentary events (process) which constantly change as they arise, abide and pass away: and as they are continually altered by an individual?s static history and the dynamics of the event.  I have mentioned before that I tend also to think of patterns, pattern(x) for instance, to include all-that-is opposite-from-non-pattern(x).  That may include a dictionary definition.  -  The horns of a rabbit might be a static notion or pattern.

Jan-Anders,

I try to always be quite clear that what I offer is my own exploration and analysis.  I would hope my use of "it seems" or "for me" would indicate what I think as indefinite and personal.  The MoQ is very new and hasn't come with a precise glossary.   All I say is considered by me to be work-in-process.  Please, I claim no authority.   I am here to explore and deepen my understanding of the MoQ, not to force my point-of-view on anyone else.  


Marsha
