Hi Marsha,

This static value exists in stable patterns relative to other patterns: patterns depend upon innumerable causes and conditions (patterns), depend upon parts and the collection of parts (patterns), depend upon conceptual designation (patterns). Patterns have no independent, inherent existence.  Further, these patterns represent "what works" depending upon on an individual's static pattern of life history.

Why do you like the fact that patterns need to be relative and dependent upon each other so much? Why's that good?
