I should point out that your first sentence has yet another problem. It is also redundant, circular nonsense.

We've been down this path before, and 'persist' and 'change' are not antonyms.  Do you have a short-term memory problem?

The statement is "Static patterns of value are repetitive processes (multiple events), conditionally co-dependent, impermanent and ever-changing, that pragmatically tend to persist and change within a stable, predictable pattern."  What makes static quality *static* is it persisting and changing within a stable, predictable pattern."

It means static quality is *static*  because it persists and changes within a stable, predictable pattern."  


> Patterns change within patterns?

Read above.

Read "repetitive processes (multiple events)".   Where did you get the idea you could apply the concept of 'change' to Dynamic Quality when RMP insists it should remain concept-free?  Guess your logic can be ignored.
