Quality a collection of patterns? That's news to me. I thought Quality was
prior to patterns. "Quality is indivisible, undefinable and unknowable in
the sense that there is a knower and a known." (Lila,5)
Also, if consciousness really is the patterns, and Quality is the
collection of patterns, what's the difference between Quality and
consciousness?

I'm glad that when I quench my thirst by drinking a glass of water that
I'm swallowing more satisfying than someone's belief. :-)
