We really cannot rightly understand the MOQ if we think of static patterns as actual objects, as in SOM. The MOQ, in effect, says that scientific material and common sense realist are one giant reification problem.

Marsha:
I view static patterns of value as repetitive processes, conditionally co-dependent, impermanent and ever-changing, that pragmatically tend to persist and change within a stable, predictable pattern.  Within the MoQ, these patterns are morally categorized into a four-level, evolutionary, hierarchical structure:  inorganic, biological, social and intellectual. Static quality exists in stable patterns relative to other patterns:  patterns depend upon ( exist relative to) innumerable causes and conditions (patterns), depend upon (exist relative to) parts and the collection of parts (patterns), depend upon (exist relative to) conceptual designation (patterns). Patterns have no independent, inherent existence.  Further, these patterns pragmatically exist relative to an individual's static pattern of life history.

You can hardly accuse me of confusing static patterns of value with actual objects.
