The point of continuity/pattern (ground) is to be able to recognize when there is a change/interaction (figure). [More comfortable rephrasing that to this: Pattern recognition and change recognition are mutually produced; one cannot happen without the other; it is the essence of self=other; it is the point.] There could be no communication (self=other) otherwise. In that way the ground (pattern) is also figural, and the figural a ground (doesn’t actually change anything essential, but is required…baked in). The over-pattern (self=other figure/ground) is seen everywhere because it is the essence of being (so change/disorder is actually part of the over-pattern… or nihil for the…conflagration). Seeing it everywhere is what was meant the first time I said iteration in this thread. NOT a cyclic model. Rather, every child (example) of “the parents”.

essence is not ontological (is immaterial) without demonstrated existence
