    I suggest patterns help to form space and
    change is what helps to give us time. Think about the cosmos.
    I can see you do it, stars, planets, rivers, creatures. This is a snap shot-
    without time/process a synchronic form of analysis.
    Thinks about time, something on the move like a train.
    All about a particular static pattern appearing in space in
    different places, gives you the idea its moving by this trick,
    fooled Zeno. Without DQ there would be no time, no change
    equals nothing different equals its all the same equals no time.
    Static patterns equals a horse has four legs, a head etc in a particular
    relationship in space. No change through time equals a static pattern.

    Any better?

    regards
    David M
