Ant McWatt comments:

Dan,

Just a small refinement but I think it would be clearer if you added the prefix "pure" to the word experience in the above paragraph as static quality patterns are a form of experience too (though a type of conceptualised/patterned experience)! 

e.g

"Pure experience (i.e. unpatterned Quality/Dynamic Quality) is pre-conceptual.  That is why there is always a lag between pure experience and recognition...."

Best wishes,

Ant
