[MD] Why are things called patterns?

[Horse]

Hi Marsha

As I don't want to inundate you with questions I'll come back to this at 
a later time after giving it some more thought if you're OK with that.
I also see others may have some questions so you may want to have other 
related conversations.
Thanks for keeping it civilised and could I also ask others to do the 
same - we really need to get back to discussion on this forum rather 
than confrontation.

Cheers

Horse

He showed me Orion, and now whenever I look into the starry night sky, the first thing I see is Orion.  It stand out like a neon sign.  How does this happen?  I don't know, but it does.

> I have no idea what you are saying.  I have it that the fundamental nature of reality is DQ, and static patterns are overlaid upon DQ.  Static patterns being useful conventions.  Why this process evolved, I do not know with any certainty.  How this happens?  How can I say since I am an aspect of the process?
