You (David McF.) seem to think patterns exist "out there"--that they are
intrinsic to matter, while Richard seems to think they are conjured up
purely in the mind--a subjective phenomenon. I think patterns are a
function of the mind but that they get limited and influenced by a reality
"out there". --David R.
