Hardly, a rainbow has a different relation to its congition from the
structured entuity than the linguistic notion of a mirage - cognition in a
mirage places an object or subject into the environmental phenomena in quite
a different way than sense data orders the ciolours of a spectrum fromt he
basis of refraction through rain - without amind it is still refracted - but
withoput a mind a mirage would not be a mirage  it requires the interaction
with mind to make it so
there is a definite if subtle analytical diustinction

This is fun! So, by analogy, a rainbow is not a rainbow without a mind to
make it so, but an experience based in an interpretation of an event that it
in turn is structured? Congratulations, you win the pot of gold at the end
of it...

Regards,
Günter
