I'm not sure that it's off-base. In WoR, Shallan attaches lightweavings to Pattern's pattern to move around and act as a distraction. I think Pattern's pattern could be classified as Pattern's cognitive element as it manifests in the physical realm.

Right. Shallan attached a lightweaving to Pattern's Physical aspect; Hoid attached the lightweaving to Design's Cognitive aspect. What I was disagreeing with was this part:

attaching different pieces to different angles so when design moves slightly on the ground it moves the body in different ways.

This isn't the lightweaving's parts attached to sections of Design's Physical aspect (which is confined to moving across physical surfaces); rather - the lightweaving's "hands" are attached to her cognitive "hands" (legs, torso, etc.). Design's Physical aspect is probably "riding" in the lightweaving's "head" - which is why she comments on what would happen if that portion went away and the Komashi residents saw her normal manifestation.

That makes sense!
