[MD] Why are things called patterns?

[118]

Hi Ron,
Well said, this is a Western paradigm, and is not necessarily that of
the East.  For on "reflection" it can be said that such patterns do
not exist outside of our intellectual capacity.  The intellectual
level includes such intellectualization, but is of course not only
that.  It it were, the intellectual level would only consist of SOM.
The intellectual level guides our intellect, but exists outside of
that, in the same way that the social level is more than just a
collection of individuals.  If indeed MoQ is to achieve any form of
spiritual rationality (as opposed to rational spirituality), then
these patterns must be seen for what they are, and not for what they
are intended to be.
Cheers,
Mark
