"'Two-of-something' is just one example of a pattern, a very simple one. We can all think of other patterns, such as 'three-of something', or 'on-top-of-something' or 'bigger-than-something'. We all know how this works. The point we don't think about too often that patterns are very real but they are not part of the material world. We forget this, because we usually recognise patterns in connection with objects in the material world. We forget that the patterns themselves transcend the material world. The patterns are not material objects."
