Depends. If you want to looked at them universally then, no. All patterns are parts of smaller and larger patterns such that ultimately all is one. But this is not very helpful idea when trying to make breakfast. The belief that supping on the concept of a egg is the same as dining on "independent entity" egg in your refrigerator, will eventually will lead to the demise of the pattern Marsha. Pragmatism would say, "Yes, that it is reasonable thing to believe their really is an "outside world out there" until a better way of understanding that experience comes along." But there hasn't been one to date. It leaves open the possibility that all is illusion, but suggests it would not be prudent to act as if this is true.
