[MD] Why are things called patterns?

[118]

Marsha,
I believe that much can be apprehended outside of the cognitive process.  I would hazard to say that 99% of our apprehension is outside of such cognition.  How much does your body go through In an hour?  How much of that reaches the cognitive process.

We cannot strictly separate ourselves from the environment, but when we do, that is the cognitive process.  When is each molecule part of ourselves or part of the environment (for example)?

To claim that all must first pass through the cognitive process before it. Is ours, is to deny the dynamic as part of our experience, in my opinion.  But, I may be wrong (again).

Sent laboriously from an iPhone,
Mark
