Scott,
You saviour! Trying to cover an all incompassing
metaphysics with multi-semantic-ridden words (like
"mind") is a nightmare. For MoQ "Static Intellectual
Patterns" is fine and, to me, meaningful. Although
nothing is static, because people use phrases like
"... I suddenly realized ...", meaning my static
pattern has just altered slightly or completely.
