I will respond to this for now: > You say "patterns are static, by their very nature, " and you cite > Marriage > is an understandable example of a social value.

Well, no, patterns are never in themselves Dynamic, but they respond to Dynamic Stimuli (A Quality Event?) The different rituals you mentioned are in fact social static patterns, however, preferably a certain Dynamic Quality should be present - one can simply go thought with the procedures lined out as social patterns of value, but if there is no Dynamic Quality to it. well, one might think it wouldn't feel all that good. So, those things described are all static. In fact: everything you can ever describe is static, since you cannot descripe or capture Dynamic Quality - if you do: it is immediately Static. > But now I see that you've convinced Ron that patterns ARE dynamic! > > [Ron]: >> But to be exact, yes you are quite right as I understand it. >> So I guess we can answer the thread title by saying >> theoretically a pattern is never static. > > The MoQ is a theory, is it not? Then, theoretically > speaking--logically--a > pattern must either be dynamic or static. Well, which is it to be, > gentlemen? As I said, the patterns are static, but responds to Quality (if they are to survive that is) So, then we see them they are static, although from a MOQ perspective we can understand that they respond to something we call Dynamic Quality - that we do so is of course a static description in itself, but not so much as other words/descriptions. Hope I could give some input worth wile here.
