[MD] expanded rationality

[118]

Hi Marsha,
You have professed the underlying principle of science.  Welcome to my world!  Science as applied to thinking.

Before this, had you accepted the world as Complete?  If so, you are in for a ride of much amazement.  What tools of investigation are you going to use?

Now that "thinking" is seen as providing meaning, perhaps you can drop some of your preconceived notions of patterns.  We create these patterns, they do not create us (aka Buddhism).  

Sent laboriously from an iPhone,
Mark

Understanding static (patterned) value as hypothetical acknowledges the incompleteness of what we know and makes room for additional inquiry with new possibilities.  It certainly moves away from thinking of entities as existing inherently, and independent of thinking.
