Don't need to.  Free will is acting from a place outside of static
quality (or your patterns, I believe).  Where else could that be but
DQ?

But, perhaps you could call your metaphysics the Metaphysics of
Patterns.  That is, the metaphysics of the definable.  This could also
be called a dictionary :-).
