The pattern is not a particular perspective nor is it a particular disposition, manifestation, or power. I will call such patterns and dimensions latents. These structure our perspectives, potentialities, and actualities. The term latent has been used in the natural, social, and psychological sciences for decades. Things are said to have latent properties, or we determine their latent observables.
Attitudes have a latent structure, as do abilities.
Quantum phenomena consist, in part, of latent functions, and in higher algebra we have latent vectors. However, the idea of latency is, in essence, very old wine mixed with some new stock and poured into a modern bottle. Our sensory awareness of these manifestations is unique and fleeting. Were our engagement with reality of only these fleeting sensations, our minds would be overloaded and confused by this manifest bedlam and chaos, orderly perception would be impossible, and the everyday predictability upon which survival depends would be unattainable. Four examples will illustrate this distinction.
