Unpatterned experience doesn't make sense to me. I can't formulate any useful conceptualizations at all using "unpatterned experience". It doesn't tie in to any useful thinking. All experience is patterned in some way or another. The very term "experience" implies a realizable pattern. Even a chaotic mass of white noise, stands out against a background of otherness and thus shows itself as a distinct pattern. If you want to discuss this in detail, offlist or on, I'm quite willing and somewhat primed by my reading in Scott Ryan's book, Objectivism and the Corruption of Rationality, of the two main solutions of nominalism and realism.
