    Hi Steve, Wim and all of you

    To confuse things even more for poor Steve, my way of distinguishing the
    levels is quite opposite from Wim's. The first split is always the DQ/SQ
    remember? So, there is no DQ *in* a static level. Sometimes they can be
    hard to distinguish from eachother, but try and you will be rewarded
    with a better understanding.

    Another thing you mentioned caught my attention:

    I agree to the former but not the latter.

    Patterns are not things. Things are *composed* of patterns. All things
    you can see and touch are at least composed of inorganic patterns. And
    if the are eatable, the are also composed of biological patterns, and so
    on. These are the dimensions Jonathan mentioned, correct me if I'm wrong.
