My thinking is that the nature of all static patterns is conceptual. (This is what interests me, that spov are primarily mental experiences.) I think I've explained this a number of times. In the case of inorganic and biological, these patterns have as their referent external, natural phenomenon, such as rocks and trees. Social and intellectual patterns are conceptual patterns pointing to concepts/ideas, such as socialism and theoretical physics.

What are these conceptual patterns like? Images or pieces of images. Auditory? Words? Certainly not dictionary-like definitions. Smell. Taste. I can't quite get it. It's there, but out of reach. I think there's physical aspect. Emotions? Maybe as simple as good or bad. Since everything is connected to everything how far would it go. If the hooves of a zebra are like those of my horse, would they be part of a zebra pattern? If I spent hours grooming a horse would the experience of touching the horse become part of the zebra pattern? There's many questions I have about these patterns. - How might patterns be different in composition from one individual to the next? How would sensing-type individual's patterns differ from thinking-type individual's patterns? So, many questions?


Yes, change seems most definitely an attribute of spovs.

Time? There's something said in Nagarjuna's MKK about time, I will need to read again. Since Einstein time is relative. Seems to me I've read somewhere there is past and future, but no present. In some cases time is directional. In some cases time is not directional. I don't know how time might be an attribute of static patterns of value.

Here there's a need for quietness, or the possibility of overload.
