Pattern or BSP

Just had a confusing discussion with myself :P So far I have identified two main constructs for my theory: One is the Main problems faced by the involved stakeholders, and the other is the Way they resolve their problems. It was not really clear how to differentiate "the way they resolve their problems" with the "pattern". The thing is 'patterns' are not and can not be treated as 'main category' (the main concept with most of the explanatory power). It is just "what's going on". This is quite different from what is temporarily my BSP (the core main concern which is also the -presumably main category). I identified "ints algnnt' as the pattern, but I am almost convinced that the "ints negotitn process" is the core category which is also the BSP. This BSP has three distinct phases: learning-relearning, internalising and responding (action). Almost all other concepts can be explained when seeing the problem using this angle. But will take more time before everything can be adequately understood... Baby, thank you for showing me your new songs and dances last night :) Dad loves you...(Thanks to Skype)
