Mark, Static patterns of value can be understood as recurrent patterns of interactions that arise simultaneously. Such patterns are not objects in any sense, but specific, recurring relationships. This notion aligns well with the Buddha's The Principle of Conditionality: If this is, that comes to be; from the arising of this, that arises; if this is not, that does not come to be; from the stopping of this, that is stopped.
