    Example

    Wrong
    No such animal
    Prove patterns??? OK go ahead

    I Googled Universal Geometry and got at least 7 pages of spiritual guff

    No such animal

    Reality is reality, a shared hallucination is a shared hallucination

    Sorry started this hours ago but got distracted

    Guess will agree to dis agree about quasi intelliegent

    You are anthropomorphizing....... patterns exist independent of human observation..... they're called potentials.
    Potentials exist independent of observation.....but by their dynamical relational values..... physics.

    But Humans looked around and saw regularities, patterns, and gave them names; "night/day", "seasons", time.....14.5 billions years after the patterns started to physically emerge from chaos in various densities and relational values.

    Human Physics = The symbolic representationof inherent universal Dynamical Patterns of various values and densities .
    The Patterns came first,...... humans are an evolved collection of prior complex patterns of various densities and values, and evolved "functionality" (homeostasis).
    Welcome to homeostasis. Pretty neat pattern, no?

    The Fibonacci sequence, named after the mathematician's model of the universality of the Golden Ratio and it's various natural potentials and practical functionalities in dynamical physics and one of the patterns by which reality unfolds relative to, but independent from the POV of the observer.

    From the site I linked; Natural patterns (patterns in nature)

    TYPES OF PATTERN

    Noooooo anthropomorphising

    PATTEN is a LABEL

    Anthropomorphising is NOT labelling. Anthropomorphising is giving a non human stuff a human characteristic

    patterns exist independent

    Stuff exist in a form confirming to physics

    Only becomes a pattern when MINIONS decide to put the label pattern to the stuff

    The stuff exist ✓ the form of the stuff exist ✓ conforms to physics ✓

    Is it LABELLED X

    The word PATTERN is a LABEL. The thing it describes is a recurring regularity of some kind. Regularities are natural self-forming evolutionary organizations of beneficial (efficient) properties.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patterns_in_nature
    Note; a pattern is not necessarily stuff. It is a recurring self-organization of stuff or measurable behavior, although most stuff of a kind has very similar organizational patterns.
    (The Table of elements is a perfect example of atoms self-arranging into distinct patterns, each with specific potentials.)
    The natural formation of the Fibonacci sequence in nature was just a matter of time. All patterns have measurable mathematical properties.

    Blah blah blah

    Have you ever thought about how nature likes to arrange itself in patterns in order to act efficiently?

    YES

    PHYSICS

    Good, we agree about patterns then.
    The only difference we have is that you insist on calling it by its generic name Physics, whereas I identify the functions which produce the physics.

    Question: Is Time physics? Or is a pattern?

    You should be aware by now from other post, my view on TIME IS THAT - IT DOES NOT EXIST

    Noooooo

    Have you ever thought about how nature likes to arrange itself in patterns in order to act efficiently?

    My answer

    YES

    The how is PHYSICS

    I don't insist I just call it (physics) for what it is
    Why?

    And I would have thought it would be the other way around

    The size - shape - colour - charge - and what ever else PROPERTY any particular (PHYSICAL STUFF) ie detectectible stuff has determines its function

    You admit that nature creates patterns? We agree. How is secondary, You say physics creates patterns, I find that a wholly unsatisfactory symbolic substitute. It is the regularity, not the physics that create patterns, recurring mathematical regularities in nature create patterns.

    But we agree on the natural self-organization of patterns, without the need for invoking additional symbolic human terms, no?

    No, you are missing the comprehensive definitions of "patterns". A regularity needs not be physical. You are throwing specific symbolic definitions into one great soup bowl of "physics". That is a meaningless term in context of regularity.
    Much better would be; "ie detectectible stuff determines its mathematical function"

    My mantra; Patterns are a result of regularities in relational values and their associated regular mathematical functions.

    You want to translate the verb "patterning" (and its derivatives) into the verb "physicking"?..........

    These patterns are a result of physicking?

    Yes and the definitions of "patterns" in dictionaries are a product of minions deciding to put the label pattern to any expression of regularities, both concrete or abstract. It is you who is altering the standard minion interpretations...

    They look Minion made, not made by physics

    The way physics puts small bits of stuff together and then puts larger bits of stuff together gives stuff a FORM. MINIONS label some stuff as patterned, other forms as chaotic, other forms as irregular

    Can't really call physics nature

    Getting bored with pattens. Move on

    Going to have breakfast and nice company to enjoy with

    How about these:

    Trees are natural fractals, patterns that repeat smaller and smaller copies of themselves to create the biodiversity of a forest.

    I know minions prepare these patterns for supper, but I don't believe that minions created these growth patterns., don't you agree?

    It is clear that these patterns are a result of natural (not minion) selection for growth efficiency and energy distribution. To call this physics is anthropomorphizing and missing the definition of "regularly occurring self-organizing patterns in nature".


    I think you get the point........
