I think a static pattern of value can best be defined as being the opposite
from everything it is not, in other words the definition is very general and
inclusive.

There she goes again, torturing the english language. And yikes, this time
she's even reversing the definition of the word "definition". Unbelievable!
definition |ˌdefəˈni sh ən|noun1 a statement of the exact meaning of a word,
esp. in a dictionary.• an exact statement or description of the nature, scope,
or meaning of something : our definition of what constitutes poetry.• the
action or process of defining something.2 the degree of distinctness in outline
of an object, image, or sound, esp. of an image in a photograph or on a
screen.• the capacity of an instrument or device for making images distinct in
outline : [in combination ] high-definition television.
In reply, Dan asked Marsha:
But not precise?
dmb says:
If she admits that words, concepts and ideas have specific meanings and
therefore need to be handled with precision, then by logical extension she
would have to admit that a person can be wrong, that some interpretations are
good and right while others are not. I suspect that's the motive behind her
brand of relativism. I guess she thinks it's liberating.
