Sorry,  we really need to separate concepts and percepts as James says:

" The great difference between percepts and concepts is that percepts are 
continuous and concepts are discrete. Not discrete in their being, for 
conception as an act is part of the flux of feeling, but discrete from each 
other in their several meanings. Each concept means just what it singly means, 
and nothing else; and if the conceiver does not know whether he means this or 
means that, it shows that his concept is imperfectly formed. The perceptual 
flux as such, on the contrary, means nothing, and is but what it immediately 
is. No matter how small a tract of it be taken, it is always a much-at-once, 
and contains innumerable aspects and characters which conception can pick out, 
isolate, and thereafter always intend. It shows duration, intensity, complexity 
or simplicity, interestingness, excitingness, pleasantness or their opposites. 
Data from all our senses enter into it, merged in a general extensiveness of 
which each occupies a big or little share ."

What is this percept data DMB that James is picking out with concepts, all data 
is surely patterned or it is white noise! You are living in cloud cuckoo land!
