The sun rising and setting, the seasons changing, plants growing and
dying, animals fighting, fleeing. feeding and f ---ing are all
examples of static patterns.
[Arlo]
No. What we see as "static patterns" are (in these examples) the
amalgamation of inorganically and biologically mediated responses to
Dynamic Quality.
A "static pattern" is not a "fixed thing", it appears as such only
from a particular focal view. "The sun rising and setting" appears to
be a static pattern from a view that considers human time in days and
weeks, while a much larger macro-eon view would see this as a
dynamic-evolutionary processes in the inorganically evolving
firmament of the cosmos.
I also think you should tell you wife the next time you "f---" that
it is not a response to "betterness" or Dynamic Quality, but doing it
is a "static pattern". I'm sure she'll appreciate knowing that. (Or
is it a response to DQ when humans "f---" but not when animals do
it?) Let me give you the right answer. "F---ing" your wife is a
biologically-mediated response to Dynamic Quality (just as pondering
metaphysics is an intellectually-mediated response to Dynamic
Quality, and painting is (to extrapolate from Pirsig) an
aesthetically-mediated (code of art) response to Dynamic Quality). It
is your biology (and hers, hopefully) responding to a "betterness", a
value, and not a "static pattern" at all.
