Whether cause and effect is entangled with cognition or whether it is more primary is interesting to note but here we just want to focus on cognition. Movement is another interesting phenomena, but let's first focus on getting a glimpse of what is "real". Cognition. To determine the nature of change and movement in terms of cognition is the possibility that is posed. Perhaps we can quickly dispose of the notion or likely be frustrated by the conflation of our role as both subjects and observers of the same "reality".
I simply assert the act of partitioning is the most fundamental cognitive action. [Related: is one a prime or composite ..] You mentioned "patterns" and I am simply saying "let's build one". Flip it and look at it another way (tool centric): I propose having a semantic cleaver in our tool-kit as being of primary importance to taking cognitive action.
