Definition

Variation is the most fundamental mode of expression of Action. It is the substrate of Existence in its most elementary form. Any variation is an Event, any Event realizes a variation of something. Variations, Events, are the "substance" Reality in made of. It is the mode of Action relative to Reality in its most general aspects. The specifications relative to the two domain of Nature, the physical and the cognitive ones, are Perturbation and Meta Perturbation - Perception respectively.

It is associated with the Operator of Reality that has the same name and is the expression of the Fundamental Principle that we call Principle of Variation (everything that exists is in incessant mutation, variation, or better, all that exist "is" incessant variation). Variation, as an Operator of Reality, transmutes the pressure of Agents / Forces on Acted / Fields in an incessant flux of variations, fluctuations, of the parameters that describe the same Acted / Fields.

Variation is the former and fundamental expression of Variationality, one of the two manifestations of Agency. The other being Causality.

Variation is the way in which Acted / Field react to the Action of Agents / Forces, the way in which Acted / Fields receive the expression of the Agents / Forces, its the product of the expression of Causality. Variation is the root of the emergence of the Dimentionalities of Reality that we call Spatiality and Temporality, the fundaments of Space and Time.

The best question with respect to Variation undoubtedly is: what varies? What varies is the distribution of the Events. Any departure from an homogeneous distribution of Events as any change in that distribution represents a variation. At any level of complexity, from the most elementary to the Universe as a Whole, Reality can be described as a net of more or less indipendent/correlated stochastic processes. Space, time, mass, motion, charge, spin and all the more complex entities and phenomena that we can


It attains to the fact and the ways in which variations in the distributions of the Events, changes, effects, Action, are produced in the Acted / Fields / Space-Time, under the operative action of Agents / Forces / Causes, both at the elementary level of Reality where the Fundamental Force and the Elementary Field interact producing the Elementary Events, and, more in general, at the more complex level where Derived Agents / Forces acting on Derived Acted / Fields produce complex events, Derived Action.

Variationality can be considered the fundamental expression of Agency, on its passive side. A fundamental expression of the variational principle / property of the Field / Fields, closely related with the Operator of Reality that we call Perturbation, an expression of the more general operator Variation.

In a relational approach to the study of Nature, variationality is a property emerging from the relation between the two fundamental aspects of the Source and, more in general, of all the sources: between the Force / forces and the Field / fields, from the relation between the action of the forces and the effects that they produce on fields. Hence, Variationality, as the other fundamental dimensionalities, must be intended as a relational property with reference to Events. In this sense we can say that variations don't exists, they happen. This is a phenomenon, a product of the dynamics of the inner interaction of the two aspects of the Source of Reality.
