| − | *'''We need new concepts of Reality and Realism'''
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | <blockquote>There are many reasons that lead us to seek a new concept of Reality. Among others, the tension between GR (General Relativity) and QM (Quantum Mechanics) about realism. This tension imposes to reconsider that concept and what we intent for [[Reality]]. Reality and Realism are not what GR say us and the same for QM. On one hand, Reality is not deterministic, or at least not completely deterministic.<br>On the other, the renunciation to realism (non locality, a weird kind of causality, etc.), that almost all interpretations of QM give us, stems from a limited vision and some erroneous assumptions at the very fundament of QM.</blockquote>

| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | <blockquote>The whole Reality, the Universe in evolution, everything that we consider as existent, is made "by" entities, but in not made "of" entities. Everything is made of events and relations between them. More precisely, we must say that everything is made of processes (an evolving mix of stochastic and deterministic processes): [[Entities]] ([[Agents / Forces]] and [[Acted / Fields]]) manifesting themselves producing [[Events]] organized by [[Relations]] forming [[Processes]].<br> So, we must say that Reality don't exists in a common sense. It incessantly happens, creating and evolving itself. In short, in the [[Evolutionary Knowledge System]], Reality is considered as the creative and evolutive process (Process) by which what exists (Entities) produce what happens (Events) in the way it happens (Relations).</blockquote>

| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | <blockquote>In this model of description of Nature, [[Reality]] is considered as an infinite and eternal [[Process of Formation of Reality|process of formation]] / [[Complexity|complexification]] / [[Structures of Information|structuration]] of the [[Primary Source]] and has no limits in its three [[Dimensions of Reality|Dimensions]] / [[Dimensionalities of Reality|Dimensionalities]]: [[Cause]] / [[Causality]], [[Space]] / [[Spatiality]], [[Time]] / [[Temporality]].

| − | Time, as Space, must be considered as an emerging phenomenon internal to Reality. It is function of the distribution of the Elementary Events. Time is part of the Formation. So Reality is "without time". No beginning, no end.</blockquote>

| − | *'''The whole Reality is incessantly empowered by a Source (a Force / Field couple) of Events / Action'''
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | <blockquote>We live such a dynamic, ever-changing [[Reality]], in a [[Universe]] in constant evolution, with extremely energetic phenomena, which affect immense structures of the cosmos, as well as the infinitesimal particles of matter, in continuous movement and interaction. The forces and fields that incessantly produce this immense dynamism are infinite. Infinite action that forms and construct a multiform Reality, which, in a succession of events, is expressed on ever more complex and articulated levels. How can we think that all these infinite forces in action in the Universe are olny the dynamic inheritance of a remote instant at the dawn of the world, the relics of a single instant, of a single energetic fluctuation, of an immense explosion not yet finished after billions of years?
| + | |
| − | <p></p>
| + | |
| − | It seems so impossibile that the Universe goes on in evolving every today and tomorrow, pushed on by the remnant of that original amount of energy. It seems more "realistic", acceptable, plausible, that the incessant formation of Reality is incessantly empowered by a Source of Action, able to produce all the [[Elementary Events]], that forms that [[Elementary Action]], which is the fundamental "substance" by which Reality and the Universe in evolution are incessantly formed. We call that source, the [[Primary Source]], the couple formed by two inseparable aspects, active and passive respectively, represented by the [[Fundamental Force]] and the [[Elementary Field]], whose inner interaction produces the incessant creative flux of Elementary Events.</blockquote>

| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | <blockquote>The debate through [[Creation]] and [[Evolution]], in my opinion is a non sense. They are the two fundamental [[Formative sub-processes|sub-process]] that realize the [[Process of Formation of Reality]]. Creation is the sub-process that produces the [[Elementary Events]], the most elementary form of [[Existence]], the fundamental "substance", the causal bricks of Reality. Evolution is the sub-process that produces the [[organization]] of the [[Relations]] among the Elementary Events in the more and more [[Complex Events]] (sets/nets of events), that compose the [[Essence / Form]] of the [[Universe]] in evolution.</blockquote>

| − | *'''The main causal chain of Reality: Force - Action - Information - Form'''
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | <blockquote>[[Causality]] is one of the two fundamental [[Dimensionalities of Reality]]. The other being [[Variationality]] ([[Spatiality]] and [[Temporality]]). Causality is relative to the expression of [[Agents / Forces]], while Variationality to the expresssion of [[Acted / Fields]]. They represent the two ways of expression of the Sources.
| + | |
| − | <p></p>
| + | |
| − | The [[evolution]] of Causality toward [[complexity]] is the central pillar of the [[Process of Formation of Reality]]. From the [[Agents / Forces|Force]] (the active side of the [[Sources|Source]]) to the [[Essence / Form|Form]], through [[Action]] and [[Information]], the products of the two formative sub-processes: [[Creation]] and [[Evolution]]. They respectively represent [[Existence]] and [[Essence / Form]]. So, this fundamental causal chain, from the Force (the fundamental causal operator), leads to the [[Forms]], which compose the whole Reality, the Universe in evolution.

| − | *'''From level to level: the evolution toward complexity. The nested multilevel structure of Reality'''
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | <blockquote>Reality is a whole, a unity, the Universe in evolution. Only for descriptive purposes is very useful to represent it as a multilevel structure, where successive layers of Reality, successive nested levels go from the most elementary (where the Primary Source produces the Elementary Events, the Elementary Action, the "substance" by which all the Reality in constructured, to the most complex that comprehend the cosmic structures, the living beings and all their cognitive expressions, the Universe as a whole.
| + | |
| − | <p></p>
| + | |
| − | Always keeping in mind that fundamental unity, we can imagine the various levels of Reality as separate worlds, with different principles, laws, dynamics, etc., different expressions, declinations, fundamental principles, laws, dynamics that describe the whole Reality. This abstraction can help us to face more easily the immense complexity of Reality, it can help us to develop better systems of formalization, allowing us to treat high-level structures as macro processes, without necessarily having to describe them in terms of more elementary level structures.

| − | *'''Everything is relative but the Primary Source (Fundamental Force and Elementary Field)'''
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | <blockquote>The whole [[Reality]] is an infinite and eternal Process of [[Events]]. The incessant [[Creation]] (that forms Existence) and the [[Evolution]] (that forms Essence / Form) of Reality are based on Events and [[Relations]] that organize them in [[Processes]]. Events are mutations, variations of the state, of the form of “something”. Because Events need a [[cause]], need to be in [[space]] (a transformation of a state in a space - here and there) and need to be in [[time]] (a change in zero time is an identity, it can’t be considered a transformation, a change in the form of “something”), we can say that all the basic aspects of Reality are intrinsically relative, and find their fundamental existence in relations among Events. We need to extend the principle of relativity to all the very fundaments of Reality, to the same concepts of [[Existence]] and [[Essence / Form]].
| + | |
| − | <p></p>
| + | |
| − | Going up in the causal chains, up to the Source where the causal principle, expression of the Force, meets the variational principle, expression of the Field, where the same space and time emerge from the relations between the Elementary Events, produced by the internal interaction between the Fundamental Force and the Elementary Field, everything is relative. Only the Source of Elementary Events, the Source of Existence, the [[Primary Source]], has an absolute dimension, is absolute. Only in the fundamental expression of the Source, that determines the state transition from nothingness, non-existence, to Existence, we can find an absolute, immutable, fixed, universal dimension that transcends cause, space and time.</blockquote>

| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | <blockquote>Cause is the former dimension of Reality. It attains with the expression of the Action of the Force on the Field, the two components of a Source. Space can be seen as formed by three dimensions, or directions. The three "directions" of the spatial dimension can be combined with Time, the temporal dimension, to form the four dimensional space-time continuum.</blockquote>

| − | *'''Space and Time are not entities, they are phenomena, they happen'''
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | <blockquote>Space and Time are not entities, things "a priori", absolute or relative, however you want to imagine them. They are phenomena. They happen, are made of events, Elementary Events, Elementary Action. If the Source of Reality, that incessantly produces those Events, should stop its causal creative action, immediately Space and Time will disappear, together with Reality itself and the whole Universe in evolution. And no conscious being would notice it, because nothing could exist without those Events, no beings, no consciousness.</blockquote>

| − | *'''Time-reversal symmetry and the arrow of time'''
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | <blockquote>Quantum mechanics predicts full time-reversal symmetry, which seems to collide with the universal manifestation of an arrow of time. Many attempts have been made to find a way to naturally bring out a break in this temporal symmetry in favor of an arrow of time.
| + | |
| − | <p></p>
| + | |
| − | In this model of description of Reality, time-reversal symmetry and the arrow of time are considered two aspects of the same property/phenomenon. As any other aspect of Reality, they are subject to evolution. So, in the very elementary levels of Reality, where space and time are incessantly forming, we can admit a (limited) symmetry. The more extensive a system, the more complex it is (the greater the number of events and relationships that organize them), and the lower the possibility of time inversion. The arrow of time, like everything else, is the product of evolution of Reality.</blockquote>

| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | <blockquote>"Speed of light in vacuum" is the common expression we use for the more correct: "upper limit for the speed at which conventional matter and information can travel in vacuum". In an even more correct form, we must say: "upper limit for the speed at which [[Information]] can travel in the [[Elementary Field]]", because "matter" is always Information (or better, structured Information, Structures of Information) and "vacuum" is a (more or less extended local) state of the Elementary Field. We should also discuss the meaning of vacuum further, because this term in conventional scientific language is too vague.
| + | |
| − | <p></p>
| + | |
| − | Absence of matter is not sufficient to precisely define the [[States of Elementary Field|state of the Elementary Field]]. We must consider various different kinds of structures, that are not those that compose the ordinary matter. The structures that can modify the speed of propagation of Information in the structured Field are gravitational waves, dark matter and dark energy. So, this speed limit must be expressed with reference to the "unstructured Elementary Field", state that we call "absolute vacuum".
| + | |
| − | <p></p>
| + | |
| − | This speed can change in [[space]] and [[time]]. Its "local" (a point in space) "instantaneous" (an instant in time) value depends on the first component of [[Action]], that we call [[Perturbation]]. In each point of space-time, Perturbation is function of the correlation in the distributions of the intensities of the basic fluctuations of the [[Elementary Field]] under the action of the [[Fundamental Force]], in the inner interaction between the two aspects of the [[Primary Source]]).
| + | |
| − | <p></p>
| + | |
| − | The amount of Perturbation in a point in space depends on the presence and motion of [[Structures of Information]] in that point. For example, in a point located in a galactic [[dark matter]] halo with no null mass density Information can't travel at the absolute vacuum speed limit.

They are absolutely equivalent physical quantities.
| + | |

| − | To [[Perturbation]] (function of the correlation in the distributions of the intensities of the basic fluctuations of the [[Elementary Field]]), correspond [[mass]] (both positive mass - that produces attraction, as that of barionic or [[ordinary matter]] and [[dark matter]] - and negative mass - that produces repulsion, as [[dark energy]]), the curvature of space-time, the speed of light (the limit of the velocity of propagation of information in the "vacuum"), the temperature of space-time, or better, of the Elementary Fields.

| − | *'''The fundamental physical phenomena can be described by the combination of the four Modes of Action'''
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | <blockquote>[[Motion]] in a gravitational field of a massive uncharged piece of matter can be described by the combination of [[Perturbation]], that is the root of [[Mass]], and [[Translation]], that is the root of [[Motion]]. In the massive object is a charges particle like and electron, to Perturbation and Translation we must add [[Rotation/Chirality]], that is the root of Electric [[Charge]], and [[Rotation/Axis Orientation]], that is the root of the Magnetic [[Spin]].

| − | Another example. Motion, in a flat space-time, of a photon, a wave/particle object without mass, that represents a quantum of light, can be described by a combination of Rotation/Chirality ([[Charge]]), Rotation/Axis Orientation ([[Spin]]) and [[Translation]] ([[Motion]]). But, if the motion of the photon occurs in a curved space-time (where massive structures are present), to Rot/Ch, Rot/AxOr and Traslation, we must add [[Perturbation]] ([[Mass]]), to take accout of the gravitational effects of the curvature on the motion of the photon (deviation from a straight line, for a curved line, a geodesic).</blockquote>

There, in those energetic events, matter and energy undergo extraordinary transmutations. Everything can turn into something else, in a mix of casuality and causality, following the strangest laws of the quantum world. In extreme synthesis, transmutation, in following those weird laws, works through evolutionary processes that occur at the speed of light, processes that favor some results, instead others less probable.
