As such it would say something significant about ALL static patterns from the inorganic level to the intellectual level:  All patterns, all levels - inorganic, biological, social&  intellectual - are conventionally, indeed, statically, subject-object oriented."

Marsha:
I am inquiring, investigating possibilities.  Being "more and more convinced" does not equate to certainty.  I have no knowledge of Absolutes.  In fact, I know nothing, nothing at all; that's why I am inquiring.  Remember I am acutely aware that discussion is analogy upon analogy.

If you want to discuss things that are certain, don't read my posts.
