Il termine livello deriva dalla parola latina libellus, a sua volta originata da libella, dimensione di una libra (bilancia). Significa il grado di elevazione di una linea o di un piano rispetto ad una superficie orizzontale di riferimento. In senso più generale, può significare una condizione, un grado, raggiungibili in vari modi. {{WpLink}}

Definition

Levels of Reality are levels of organization, organization of entities, events, relations and processes that create and make the Reality to evolve.

Nested levels, the more complex emerging from the previous ones, more elementary in a causal sense, with new properties emerging from the collective behavior of the entities at the more elementary level, of the events they produce in their interactions, and the relations that connect them in organized networks.

Each level is characterized by the manifestation of a quiet homogeneous kind of entities, events and relations that organize those entities and events in processes.

Transitions between the successive levels of Reality are produced by the incessant evolutive pressure exerted by the Fundamental Force and the Derived Agents / Forces acting of the Elementary Field and the Derived Acted / Fields, like phase transitions in the physical and the complex systems. This is the essence of the Process of Formation of Reality.

Description

Observing Reality from different points of view, exclusively for analytical and descriptive purposes, we can identify successive nested levels, both in the sense of causal dimension and in the sense of space-time dimensions (increasing complexity). Going up from the elementary level of the Primary Source (the Fundamental Force and Elementary Field creative couple), through the level of Action, then the level of Information, where the evolutionary processes organize, transform and select the Structures of Information, up to the level of the (material and immaterial) Forms and to the whole Universe in evolution.

We can think these levels as particular views on Reality, as we focus our attention on specific levels of organization of its constituents, the Events. Each level correspond to a part of the Process of Formation of Reality, where specific Operators of Reality, characterizations of the fundamental agent, the Fundamental Force, acting of the Elementary Field.

Furthermore, despite being the result of a unitary and indivisible process of formation, Reality can be observed under different aspects and can be seen as a superposition of different planes of existence:

In describing the Process of Formation of Reality, a unitary and indivisible process, though the levels of organization of the Field are to be considered as infinite, just for descriptive purposes and for simplicity, we can identify the following few fundamental Levels of Reality:

Level Fluctuations of the Field State of the Field Level of organization of the Field Notes Entities Derived Forces Derived Fields
Level of Non-Existence No fluctuations Absolute homogeneity It has no sense, no meaning Absolute flatness Nothingness
Level of the Source of Reality Creation of the fluctuations State/phase transition It is the source of organization Fundamental Force / Elementary Field couple
Level of the Elementary Action Homogeneity in the distributions of the fluctuations Absolute Vacuum No organization (stochastic independence of the distributions) Quantum Vacuum / Relative flatness - Elementary Energy? All potential Absolute Void
Level of Information / Energy Relative Vacuum It represents the organization / correlation of the distributions) Relative Void
Level of the Structures of Information Radiation and Matter High level of organization (complex patterns of correlation of the distributions) The particles of ordinary matter and the structures of Dark Matter and Dark Energy Material structures: radiation, dark and ordinary matter, dark energy Gravitational, Electric, Magnetic, Weak Nuclear, Strong Nuclear Gravitational, Electric, Magnetic, Weak Nuclear , Strong Nuclear
Level of the Forms Extremely high level of organization Atoms (nuclei and electrons), Molecules, Objects, etc. Gravitational, Electric, Magnetic, Weak Nuclear, Strong Nuclear Gravitational, Electric, Magnetic, Weak Nuclear , Strong Nuclear
Level of the Manifestation / the Universe as a whole in evolution Comprehend all the organization of the world Gravitational Gravitational

Level of Non-Existence

It is the level in which the Elementary Field is in the state of absence of fluctuations, absence of the elementary perturbations of the space-time dimensions, the Elementary Events that constitute the Elementary Action, the unperturbed Elementary Field. Complete homogeneity, minimum organization, minimum complexity. It is a condition of non-existence. It is an hypothetical level, since the existence of the Source presupposes the Action of the Fundamental Force on the Elementary Field, which incessantly operates the phase transition from the state that we call "Nothingness" to the most elementary form of Existence, the Elementary Action, from Nothingness to Somethingness.

Level of the Source of Reality

It is the uncontactable level of the fundamental entities, the Fundamental Force and the Elementary Field, which together form the Primary Source and represent respectively the sources of the causal and the space-time (enhanced) dimensions of Reality.

Level of the Elementary Action

This is the level of Reality in which the Fundamental Force acting of the Elementary Field incessantly mediates the phase transition between nothingness and the absolute vacuum. In facts, the Force exerts on the Field a constant pressure that incessantly operates the phase transition from the state of Non Existence to the most elementary form of Existence, from Nothingness to Somethingness.

It is the forge of Reality, that incessantly "creates" the Elementary Action, the most elementary level of Existence, the Elementary Events, in the form of fluctuations of fundamental parameters which describe the Field, from whose organization emerges the Information, the Structures of Information and the Forms.

Here the Elementary Field is in a state that we can define "all potential" and we call Absolute Vacuum. It is absolute homogeneity in the distributions of the elementary fluctuations of the Field, state produced by the Action of the Fundamental Force.

Level of Information / Energy

It's the level of Reality in which the Action of the Force on the Field expresses itself in the Organization, Transformation and Selection of networks of relationships between Events, what we call Information. The level in which the relations between the Elementary Events and their pattern of organization, the elementary form of Information, evolve forming more and more complex macro-events, or Structures of Information, organizing in even more complex Forms.

Information, In-form-action, organized Action, the pattern of organization of the Events.

It's the level of the evolutive processes, that at each level of complexity, organize, transform and select the Information, the entity that gives form to the Structures of Information and to the Forms that populate the Universe.

It's the Cycle of the Information. The Force exerts a constant pressure that incessantly operates the phase transition from the chaos to the order, with all the possible gradations of the level of organization, of complexity.

Level of the Structures of Information

It is the level of the elementary structures which emerge from the evolution of Information that organizes the Field.

First part of the Level of the Forms, the Level of Structures of Information is the level of Reality in which the Information and the evolutive associated processes (the Cycle of the Information) gives form to the elementary structures that constitute the constitutive blocks of the material and immaterial Forms.

We can find here:

In a physical sense, the Structures of Information are space-time domains in which the micro-states (the dynamics of the point events in the Field) show some kind of organization, represented by a non null amount of correlation in the distributions of the elementary fluctuations of the Field, characterized by the three fundamental aspects of the Elementary Action: Perturbation, Translation and Rotation.

Level of the Forms

The level of the composite forms created by the evolution of the most elementary or less complex relations, the Structures of Information. Information that forms other more complex Information, in nested networks, that gives shape to the Action.

Level of the Manifestation / the Universe as a whole in evolution

The level of the Manifestation includes the Universe as a whole, the entire Universe, everything in evolution, all the levels of Reality integrated.

Reality as a unity, in all its aspects:

Levels and Dynamics of Reality

Since the dynamics of Reality is a unitary process in which the Force incessantly creates Existence and causes the Forms to evolve - inanimate objects as well as living beings - for the purpose of description only, we can identify different theories, different dynamics, which correspond to the above listed Reality levels:
