Definition

Physical Action is the expression of the Physical Agency of Physical Sources in the physical domain of Reality (Physical Reality).

Physical Action at the same time comprehends: - the manifestation and the influence of the Elementary Action in the physical domain of Reality, - all the forms of Derived Action (any form of Action, other than, more complex of, the Elementary Action) which manifest themselves in the physical domain of Reality.

We call these forms of Physical Action as "derived" because they comes from the organization, the evolution, of the most elementary form of Physical Action.

As the Elementary Action is the expression of the Primary Source, the couple Fundamental Force and Elementary Field, Derived Physical Action is the expression of the Derived Physical Sources, the couples composed by Physical Agents / Forces and Physical Acted / Fields, that manifest themselves through all the derived, more complex, forms of Physical Agency.

Action is the second point of the "Main causal chain of Reality": Force-Action-Information-Form.

It is the main expression of Physical Agency. It is the product of the inner interaction (physical interaction) between Derived Agents / Forces and Derived Acted / Fields, the fundamental manifestation of the Derived Physical Sources.

Physical Action represents the expression, the manifestation of physical causal agents, Derived Physical Forces acting on Derived Physical Fields. It represent the act of producing Complex Physical Events, changes in the state of "Physical Fields - Physical Entities". This is the fundament of the complex levels of Physical Reality. It is the "substrate" of the Physical Existence and the Physical Essence / Form, and, more in general, of Physical Information (In-Form-Action), the Structures of Physical Information and the Physical Forms that compose the Physical Universe in Evolution.

It relates to the distribution of Complex Physical Events in the causal, spatial and temporal dimensions.

Derived Physical Action express itself in three modes / components. Their are the functional operators that operates at the level of Derived Physical Action in the Process of Formation of Physical Reality.

Derived Physical Agents / Forces acting on the Derived Physical Acted / Fields, express themselves in three inseparable modes, the modes, the components of Physical Action:

All the forms of Physical Action are limited.

At any level of Complexity, Physical Action represents the transition from the possibile to the actual in the physical domain of Reality.

It is the expression of the fundamental features of the two components of the Derived Physical Sources, the Derived Physical Forces and the Derived Physical Fields, causality and variationality (spatiality and temporality) respectively, in the physical domains of Reality.

Description

Modes of Physical Action

These are the modes of expression of the Physical Action and their correspondence with the modes of expression of the Action in general and the Cognitive Action.

Through these modes, Elementary Action becomes the manifest substrate of any more complex forms of existence, the actual "substance" of everything, the basis for the incessant construction and evolution of Reality, of the Universe as a whole in evolution.

Action Physical Action Cognitive Action
Variation Perturbation Perception
Propagation Translation Communication
Conservation Rotation Storage

Action-at-a-distance

In this model of description of Reality, in the system of knowledge that we call Evolutionary Knowledge, there is no room for action-at-a-distance, as intended in the field of Quantum Mechanics with reference to the phenomenon called "entanglement".

This statement is not an "a priori" position against one of the central hypotheses on QM. The evidence of entanglement deriving from the experiments and the current development of quantum technology which is also based on this strange phenomenon, require profound reflections on its nature and on the entire interpretation of Quantum Mechanics.

We do not deny the existence of the phenomenon, but the explanations coming from QM. To really comprehend entanglement I think we must overcome the two main approaches to the historical debate on the fundamental nature of the quantum and the principle of reality.
