Greetings, Wim,

Static patterns can control systems at all levels, big or small, individual
or collective. A subsystem may be the place where dynamic change is launched
upon the larger system to which it belongs, or dynamic change can be
initiated at the level of the system-as-a-whole, and imposed upon its parts,
including those parts that would prefer to rename static. Of course,
resistance is possible and may be successful if the changes are not well
executed. (Been there, done that.)

  I would still like to know to what extent my analogy
"Biological/Social/Intellectual evolution can be seen as a process by which
weak Dynamic forces at a subatomic/subcellular/individual level discover
stratagems for overcoming huge static inorganic/biological/social forces at
a superatomic/supercellular/collective level." is still a valuable
reflection of 'reality' (intellectual pattern) and/or a meaningful insight
in your opinion.
