Marsha: For me concepts and definitions are a part of static patterns of value. > If static patterns are something above and beyond concepts and definitions, > where are they? Marsha: Static patterns of value are processes: impermanent, interdependent, ever-changing. (Not independent objects, subjects or things-in-themselves.) Overlapping, interconnected, ever-changing processes that pragmatically tend to persist and change within a stable, predictable pattern. Please note the "ever-changing processes that pragmatically tend to persist and change within a stable, predictable pattern" part. > dmb: > On what basis do you conclude that these terms refer to two different things? Marsha: Again, for me concepts and definitions are a part of static patterns of value. There is not a one-to-one relationship between concepts/definitions and a pattern. There could be visualizations associated with a pattern for one example. ___ Moq_Discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org/md/archives.html
