'''What we intend for Mass and gravitational phenomena'''

'''"Mass and gravitational phenomena" is perfectly equivalent to "Space-time and metric phenomena"''', because Space-time deformation / inhomogeneity is Mass. When (as with Relativity) we say that Mass (Matter) is the source / cause of the curvature of space-time, we are telling an almost truth. Or an almost falsehood, it depends on our individual psychological profile... forgive the joke... Seriously, in this system of knowledge we have hypothesized (and justified) that Mass / Dark Energy and curvature of space-time are the same thing. 

As a result of the [[Principle of General Equivalence]], the two topics [[Space-time and metric phenomena]] and [[Mass and gravitational phenomena]] '''should collapse into a single topic'''. But we are used to considering space-time and mass as two distinct entities or phenomena. In fact, space-time extension and mass density are the same thing, they are (apparently) different manifestations of the same [[Dynamics of Physical Action|Dynamics]] of the [[Elementary Field]], of the same [[Modes of Physical Action|Modes / component of the Elementary Action]], which we call [[Perturbation]]. Thus, we should speak of space-time / mass and metric / gravitational phenomena instead of two distinct and different [[Phenomena|phenomenologies]]. 

Only for descriptive purposes and to maintain a certain adherence to the common vision of reality, we keep these two phenomenologies distinct, which in fact General Relativity has already recognized as intimately linked. Here we take a step further. '''We recognize their substantial identity''', a common origin, nature and dynamics. Mass can be defined as the curvature of space-time. The curvature is not an effect, a phenomenon, deriving from the existence of a mass, but is the true nature of the mass itself: the curvature of space-time "is" mass, and viceversa. In short, we do not consider mass here as a source of space-time curvature, of expansion-contraction of the metric, but we recognize them as the same thing, '''the same expression of the same deep and intimate nature of [[Physical Reality]]'''.

[[Mass]] is the deformation of the [[Metric]].

The deformation of the [[Metric]] is [[Mass]].

They are not only equivalent, they are the same thing, expression of the same fundament: [[Perturbation]].

From the point of view of causal connection, of origination, I can only point out that it is what lies beneath the Space-time curvature (often of Time, as seen), '''the peculiar organization of the correlations of Perturbation''', which produces what we call Mass, or better, which represents Mass (the positive and the negative one, that is called Dark Energy), one of the fundamental properties of InfoStructures that constitute and compose both Dark and Visible Matter.

Mass / Dark Energy is the condition of a portion / volume of the Elementary Field, a space-time domain in other words, in which the distribution of the stochastic perturbations that constitute the Elementary Action is '''lower than the average distribution of a more or less large neighborhood or of the entire Universe'''. Therefore, in a massive domain, as in the case of a Particle of Visible Matter or a halo of Dark Matter, we can identify a "gradient", a particular form of the correlation of the distributions of the intensity of the elementary fluctuations (Perturbation) of the point-events that compose that domain, in the sense of a lower density / intensity of the perturbations themselves.

So, '''as Space-time and its "curvature", Mass is a derived Field, a partial and specific vision of the Elementary Field focused on the organization of the correlation of Perturbation'''. Mass and Dark Energy are '''deformations, inhomogeneities''' (local, more or less extensive, more or less uniform or non-uniform, more or less irregular / turbulent or regular / orderly)''' of the Elementary Field in relation to the Component of the Elementary Action that we call Perturbation'''. 

From now on, when we use the term Mass, we will mean '''both its positive version'''(the Mass that we know, that we measure, which makes up both the Visible InfoStructures, the Particles and the objects that we observe in the visible Universe), '''and the Dark one''' that we struggle to identify, such as the dark halos of galaxies and clusters).

Stretching it a little, in an attempt to make everything a little more understandable, we could say that Mass / Dark Energy is the counterpart for InfoStructures of what is the curvature of Space-time metric for the Elementary Field. Given that these two physical quantities, curvature and mass, are the same thing, we are usually used to saying that '''Space-time is flat or curved, and that InfoStructures have a mass or are massless'''. Here, sticking to this way of expressing ourselves, '''we can associate the terms curvature, Space-time and metric with the Elementary Field, and the terms Mass and Dark Energy with the InfoStructures''', in particular the massive ones, of the Vortex type, elementary or composite subtype, both Visible and Dark , keeping in mind that it is the same thing observed from two different points of view.

In fact, both the curvature of Space-time (of Time, in particular) and Mass / Dark Energy, as mentioned, can always be traced back to a spatial correlation of non-zero values of the Elementary Action Component which we call Perturbation, and to what this means in terms of the density of Elementary Events, of the temporal distributions of the spatial fluctuations of the Elementary Field at scales much smaller than those of the Particles.

'''Regarding gravity, we must say that Mass and gravity are not the same thing'''. Mass, in this extended positive and negative sense, is the '''root, the source and the cause of gravitational phenomena''': 
*'''attractive''' (the concept of Mass to which we are normally accustomed, here Negative Mass, or rather Mass deriving from negative values of Perturbation, local distributions of elementary fluctuations lower than the average value of the surrounding space or universal average),
*'''repulsive''' (the concept of Dark Energy, in a broader sense, also valid for the InfoStructures of Ordinary matter, which characterizes the border areas of the Vortex Structures, deriving from positive values of Perturbation).

Gravity, the attractive/repulsive force that we observe at work in the Universe, both in the microcosm and in the immensities of cosmic spaces, is '''the reaction of the Elemental Field to the presence in it of Structures with non-zero Perturbation values, InfoStructures with Mass'''. This reaction, which, in spite of the relativistic mantra that gravity is not a force, but the effect of the curvature of Space-time, '''we hypothesize here to be a force''', and by force we always mean Cause, the source of Action, and in this case, of Motion. '''A Derived Force''', of a reactive type as we have said, the reaction of the Field to its deformation, a force that tends to restore homogeneity. A homogeneity which, in the case of "stable" Vortex InfoStructures, cannot be restored. '''Gravity, as a reactive force tending to restore homogeneity''', paradoxically contributes to the preservation of inhomogeneity, as we will see shortly. 

For the moment we are only making '''a suggestion which we will return to later'''. '''Let's imagine a sink''', with the water tap and the drain open, and a vortex that conveys the water present in the sink. As long as the flow of water from the tap to the drain continues, the vortex is maintained. If we turn off the tap, when the water in the sink runs out and stops flowing into the drain, the vortex disappears. In this analogy, the water that flows into the sink is gravity, the vortex of water in the drain is the Vortex InfoStructure, the energy gradient that is represented by the slope of the sink toward the drain can be imagined as the negative gradient of Perturbation that represents the Mass of the vortex in the drain.

Here we limit ourselves to giving '''a suggestion which we will return to later'''. '''Let's imagine a sink''', with the water tap and drain open, and a vortex that conveys the water present in the sink. As long as the flow of water from the tap to the drain continues, the vortex is maintained. If we turn off the tap, when the water in the sink runs out and stops flowing into the drain, the vortex disappears. In this analogy, the water flowing into the sink is the gravitational phenomenon (the effect produced by gravity, the force that moves the water), the vortex of the water in the drain is the Vortex InfoStructure, the energy gradient represented by sink slope towards the drain can be imagined as the negative gradient of Perturbation, which represents the Mass of the vortex in the drain (and which at the same time we can imagine as a curvature of Space-time represented by the slope of the sink itself). 

For a stable and persistent Structure over time, it is '''as if a pump collected the water from the drain and returned it to the tap, maintaining the cycle of the vortical flow indefinitely'''. A continuous flow, always the same in its essence, but at the same time always different, with its turbulences that make the shape of the Vortex at small scales always a little different. But, outside of the metaphor, what in Physical Reality performs the function of the pump that we imagined maintaining the vortical flow in existence? '''It is the Elementary Action, its dynamics''', which manifests itself as Perturbation, the gradient that triggers the reaction of the Elementary Field, and Translation, the motion that represents the vortical flow. Elementary Action, in the forms of Perturbation and Translation, which arises from the incessant inner interaction between the Fundamental Force and the Elementary Field, manifestation of the Primary Source of Reality. Correlation of the Perturbation and correlation of the Translation together in the portion / volume of the Field, their organizations in Space in peculiar patterns, which give and maintain the Existence and the Essence / Form, which create and make it evolve, the Vortex InfoStructure.

What is the most relevant thing we can mention about the water flowing in the sink from the tap to the drain? '''Its motion towards the drain'''. '''Divergence, or rather, negative divergence, convergence in other words'''. The gradient produces a divergence. And this is precisely the way in which Action manifests itself in the presence of a Mass and the connected gravitational phenomenon (attraction). In terms of the Elementary Action of its Modes/Components, we can say that the key to Mass is Perturbation (gradient in terms of vector operators), and '''the key to gravity is Translation (divergence), the root of "Motion and Kinetic Phenomena"''', which we will see in the next section. Mass and its positive Perturbation counterpart, Dark Energy, produce Motion, acceleration, variation of inertia of an InfoStructure in the Field.


'''In terms of the correlations between the temporal distributions of the spatial elementary fluctuations of the Elementary Field resonating around the Planck scale'''

Organization of the correlation of Perturbation... In the terms of the Dynamics of Elementary Field and the Components of Elementary Action, this means that Mass (positive and negative) is the manifestation, the product of the correlations between the temporal distributions of the elementary spatial fluctuations resonating around the Planck scale of each point event of Elementary Field. 

If the distributions in each point event or the considered portion of the Elementary Field are equal, we will see no Mass, no massive Dark and Visible InfoStructures, no Matter, no GW Radiation, and therefore a flat Space-time, in a state of Emptyness. 

If the distributions in each point event or the considered portion of the Elementary Field are different, whether gradients are present in the distributions, we will see Mass, in addition to the ubiquitous Elementary Energy produced by the spontaneous dynamics of the Elementary Field (concept assimilable to the zero point energy of quantum vacuum).

Let's repeat what was already said in the previous section regarding the two aspects of the Mass:
*Positive Mass (Positive Perturbation Mass): Perturbation value greater than the universal or local average value of the portion of the Elemental Field considered, what is commonly called Dark Energy, which exerts repulsive gravitational force, or
*Negative Mass (Negative Perturbation Mass): Perturbation value lower than the universal or local average value of the portion of the Elementary Field considered, what is commonly called Mass of Dark and Visible Matter, which exerts an attractive gravitational force.

For the principle of general Equivalence, this is equivalent to values higher or lower than the average value of: *density of Elementary Events, 
*temperature of the Elementary Field, 
*speed of propagation of Causality, Action, Information / Energy (normally called speed of light in the vacuum).

Regarding the equivalences between Perturbation, density of Elementary Events, curvature of Space-time, Mass, temperature of the Elementary Field, speed of propagation of causality, etc. please refer to what has already been detailed in the previous section fucesed on Space-time.


'''In terms of Entities, Events, Relations and Processes'''

As Space-time, Mass is '''not an entity, something that exists in itself, fixed, immutable, absolute'''. It's not a Force, it's not a Field.''' It is a Phenomenon, something that happens''', the manifestation of the Action of the Fundamental Force on the Elementary Field. A particular view on a fundamental phenomenon that incessantly creates the most elementary form of Existence, Elementary Action, the spatial elementary fluctuations of the Elementary Field resonating around the Planck scale. 
As with everything that exists, for the entire Reality, also '''Mass can be defined as a Process''', a network of Events produced by Entities, organized by Relations.


'''In terms of Source (Force - Field), Action, Information, Form'''

In other words, Mass is one of the (dynamic) Forms (organizations) that the Elementary Field assumes under the Action of the Fundamental Force. A Form that manifests itself if we observe the dynamics of the Elementary Field in the Mode / Component of the Elementary Action that we call Perturbation, which supports what we could call Spatio-temporal Information / Energy.


'''In the unstructured Field (from the point of the Elementary Field and its dynamics)'''

Mass exists as a manifestation of the spontaneous dynamics of the Elementary Field, even without the presence of InfoStructures. Mass exists as a manifestation of the spontaneous dynamics of the Elementary Field, even without the presence of InfoStructures. In temporal fluctuations around the Planck scale and even lower, the natural turbulence of the Field is divided into positive and negative Perturbation. The small portions of the Field that manifest Mass and Dark Energy incessantly form and disappear, keeping the Space-time flat and the total portion equal to Mass zero.


'''In the structured Field (from the point of view of InfoStructures in the Elementary Field, and their dynamics)'''

Here too, we refer to what is expressed in the corresponding point of the section relating to "Space-time (curvature) and metric phenomena", to be read by focusing attention on Mass from the perspective of the Structures of Information.

'''Why is Time curved? Why does it curve locally? Why does Mass exist?''' Time is curved (both positively/accelerated -> Dark Energy, and negatively/slowed -> Mass, compared to the universal mean or relative to the mean of a portion of Space that includes this curvature) from the "turbulent dynamics" (spontaneous dynamics) of the Field and from the interactions between InfoStructures and between organized systems of Structures.

Time curvature is Mass / Dark Energy. They are not just equivalent. They are the same thing! Therefore, also the Mass is produced by the dynamics of the Elementary Field and by the organization of the correlations between the distributions of the elementary fluctuations.

'''Mass exists because Time does not flow uniformly in Space-time''' (said in a way compatible with conventional physics), or, said in terms of the System of Knowledge that I am trying to outline here, '''because in the turbulence of the dynamics of the Field Elementary spontaneous processes progressively organize the elementary fluctuations into Structures''' that evolve towards stable and causally persistent forms (which we call Waves, Particles and Interactions), which in turn, in a superposition of increasingly complex levels of Reality, condition the dynamics of Elementary Field, in a unitarian, continuous, incessant and infinite formative process, both creative and evolutionary, which progressively builds Reality, the whole Universe in evolution.

In summary, '''the spontaneous dynamics of the Field produces what we observe as Space-time curvature or as Mass, due to the different point of view'''. In the absence of Structures, the Field is curved and manifests (positive and negative) Mass only at scales around and below the Planck scale (spatial fluctuations, Planck scale spatial turbulence, spatial uncertainty). It is flat and massless at higher scales. In the presence of Structures at the scales of the InfoStructures of Visible Matter (massive particles) and at the larger scales of the Dark Structures, while Space is flat, Time is curved according to profiles and specific extensions and characteristics of the different Structures. 

These profiles represent the Mass / Dark Energy distribution "of" massive (Vortex) Structures "in" the Field. '''If we look at the Field, we see curvature of Space-time (of Time, in fact). If we look at the massive Structures, we see Mass "and" Dark Energy''' (in the case ov Vortex Strctures, we will see Mass, negative Perturbation, in the internal regions, and in the external regions an extended area of very low density of Dark Energy, positive Perturbation, which can take on greater density when the Structure is compressed between other massive Structures of comparable size, density, etc.).

This concur '''to prevent InfoStructures with comparable mass density from interpenetrating''' and to favor the conservation of the InfoStructures and their causal and variational permanence (maintenance of Existence and Essence / Form). The Pauli exclusion principle (two or more identical particles with half-integer spins, fermions, cannot simultaneously occupy the same quantum state) represents the manifestation of this characteristic of Vortex Structures at the quantum level within the structure and dynamics of the electronic orbitals of atoms (later extended as Spin–statistics theorem).


'''Properties'''

Mass, like Space-time, is an '''emergent phenomenon produced by the dynamics of the Elementary Field''', by the spatial relations (correlations) of the temporal distributions of the elementary spatial fluctuations. Mass must also be seen as a Derived Field, as a physical quantity, such as Motion, Charge, etc. And like all the Derived Fields (specific views of the Elementary Field) and the physical quantities that arise from their peculiar Phenomena (the physical quantities that characterize the Derived Fields and the InfoStructures that can be observed and measured in them) '''it can only be observed, measured in a relative sense'''. 

'''Relative to''' the level of universal zero level of Perturbation, or to the level of zero level of Perturbation of a portion of Space-time, of the Elementary Field. And it is related to the Motion of the InfoStructure under observation, to its absolute speed, to its relation with the permitted point-by-point speed limit (other Masses interacting in the portion of the Field considered), to its inertia, in other words.

'''Relative to Perturbation''' ("of" the Field, caused by different Structures in it other than the one observed) '''and Translation''' (of the observed InfoStructure "in" the Field). Related to the Space-time curvature and to the (state of) Motion of the Particle. Does it remind you of anything? Maybe General Relativity?

*'''From the point of view "of" Elementary Field''':
**'''Mass infinite as Space and Time are infinite and illimited
**'''Positive / negative Mass universal and local balance''': balanced by definition, but progressive increasing of structuration / complexity -> general slow down of time pace / speed of light -> Action expresed in mantaining existing strctures and producing new ones > it is the counterpart of the temporal curvature of Spece-time


*'''From the point of view of InfoStructures "in" the Elementary Field''':
**'''Positive / negative Mass density profile / spatial distribution''': depression with surrounding boundaries (normally large extension very low density, )
**''' ''':
**'''Variability due to other masses and gravity''':
**'''Variability due to Motion''':
**'''Intangibility under density conditions''': root of the principle of exclusion / same or similar mass density


'''Phenomena and Dynamics'''

'''The gravitational phenomena are profundly intewined with the kinetic ones''', so it will be worth a unitarian treating.

*'''What is a law of gravitation?''': it is '''a relation between Perturbation and Translation''' (Metric/Mass and Motion). Or, in other word, an operator / equation that puts in relation Translation (Motion) with Perturbation (Metric/Mass). '''The same thing, symmetrically, we will see in the next sections regarding electromagnetism'''. A law of electromagnetism is a relation between Rotation (Chirality and AxisOrientation) and Translation (Charge+Spin and Motion). Or, in other word, an operator / equation that puts in relation Translation (Motion) with Rotation (Chirality and AxisOrientation) (Charge+Spin). This represents '''a fundamental symmetry between the most elementary Components / Modes of Elementary Action, and the related phenomena''' (expressions of derived forces acting on the associated derived fields).



*'''Attraction / Repulsion''': these are the essence of gravitational phenonema
*'''Propagation''': -> Motion and k ph
*'''Time dilation''': again in kinetic phenomena -> time profile life time or life span / duration
*'''Contraction of lenghts''': is an apparent phenomena due to ... again in kinetic phenomena
