Craig, Patterns are formed the way patterns are formed. I think the opposite-from-non-horse is the best way to conceptualize a horse-pattern, it scope. A pattern is never the same from one individual to another individual, and it is not the same from one event to another event within one individual. It seems the best way to include all that might be contained in a horse pattern: breadth and depth, and, of course, analogies all the way down, It represents well its ever-changing and interconnected nature, and accounts for its impermanence. Its purpose would be to prevent one from falling back into imagining a horse-pattern as a bounded thing-in-itself type of entity.
Marsha p.s. Did you like my quantum wave/particle metaphor?
