When I say there is only one pattern, I mean one pattern for a distinct thing. For example, when we ever manage to find it, there will only be one pattern for gravity. That pattern, when we know all the variables that can influence it, will fit any application of gravity, anywhere, without fail. i.e., there will only be one value of G(gravity) for any set of X,Y,Z(anything that influences gravity).

That is not to say that there will only be on pattern that governs all of life and existence, though, it stands to reason that if you had perfect knowledge of all of the variables at every given instant you might indeed be able to find an underlying governing patter to everything.

You used weather as an example to argue against my idea, but I think that is a bad example to use against me. We COULD predict the weather if we had perfect knowledge of the system, which we obviously don't. Whether is also a funny one because it is a feedback loop that has multiple inputs, including itself. However, as I said, if we had all of the variables we would be able to detect the pattern even there.

Yes, perspective is the kick in the pants to all of humanity. It is a blessing and a curse. I strive to see things from as many different angles as possible, trying to home in on the patterns that I see, which is one of the reasons you will often find me arguing antithetical sides of the same debate.

What is the purpose of living? How about, 'to reduce needless suffering. It seems to me to be a worthy purpose.
