Something very essential in this model of description of Reality...

This model, that we call Evolutionary Knowledge because of the centrality of the concept of evolution in this approach, aims to give a new vision of Reality and the Universe. Many new proposals and unconventional hypothesis are made to try to explain some of the fundamental unsolved mysteries in physics and cosmology.

We can see them as key points, qualifying elements, the leading arguments on which, more than others, we must evaluate the capacity of this model to explain, to describe what we observe of Reality and the Universe.

Reality

What is

• We need new concepts of Reality and Realism

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. 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.

• Reality and the Universe “does not exist” in a conventional sense, the whole Reality “happens”

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. 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).

Origin and formation

• A Reality without a beginning and without end: no limits at all

In this model of description of Nature, Reality is considered as an infinite and eternal process of formation / complexification / structuration of the Primary Source and has no limits in its three Dimensions / Dimensionalities: Cause / Causality, Space / Spatiality, Time / Temporality. Time must be considered as an emerging phenomenon internal to Reality. It is relative to the distribution of the Elementary Events. Time is part of the Formation. So Reality is "without time". No beginning, no end.

• The whole Reality is incessantly empowered by a Source (a Force / Field couple) of Events / Action

• Creation (or) and Evolution: the two sides of Formation

The debate through Creation and Evolution, in my opinion is a non sense. They are the two fundamental 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.

• The main causal chain of Reality: Force - Action - Information - Form

• From level to level: the evolution toward complexity. The nested multilevel structure of Reality

Sources, Forces and Fields

• Everything is relative but the Source (Fundamental Force and Elementary Field)

• Different kind of forces/fields: a matter of complexity

Dimensions: Cause, Space and Time

• Three are the dimensions of Reality: cause, space and time

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.

• Space and Time are not entities, they are phenomena, they happen

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.

• Quantum time symmetry

Microcosm - Physics

Action

• Forces and Fields represent inseparable couples: they are the two complementary aspects of each Source

FF/EF to Derived Forces/Derived Fields... Examples: Gravitational Force/Field, E. an M. F/F...

• From Events to Action

• The Fundamental Principles of Action: Uncertainty, Action and Reaction, Least Action

• The speed of light is a limit, not a constant

It 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).

• The general principle of equivalence: some notable correspondences

This notable and, in some way, unbelivable correspondences show the equivalenze between the four basic "Modes of the Elementary Action" and some of the most important physical quantities (for example, in this model, Perturbation, mass, the curvature of space-time, the speed of light, the temperature of space-time are different aspects of the same phenomenon. 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.

To Translation correspond Motion and acceleration (variation of the motion, of the speed, till the limit of the velovity of propagation of Information in the Elementary Field).

To Rotation/Chirality corresponds the Electric Charge.

To Rotation/Axis orientation corresponds the Magnetic Spin.

• The fundamental physical phenomena can be described by the combination of the four Modes of Action

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).

Information / Energy

• From Action to Information / Energy

Uncertainty and indetermination are about the relation between Information, and its most elementary physical form that we call Energy, and Time.

• Energy is an elementary form of Information (or Information is a complex form of energy)

• From the Modes of Elementary Action to the basic physical quantities / phenomema

Quantities (forces, fields, action, energy, information, structures, particles/waves) --> Phenomema: Mass and the gravitational phenomena, Motion and the cinematic phenomena, Charge and the electric phenomena, Spin and the magnetic phenomena.

• Mass, motion, charge and spin: the key is (cor)relation, organization, information

Matter Particles and/or Waves

• Matter is not fundamental, or, better, is not so fundamental...

• Radiation and particles are not the main part of what exists (or rather, “happens”) in Nature

• The “inconstancy” of natural constants and an amazing equivalence

• The shape of particles and atoms is different from what we think

Different and ever changing

• Where is the electron? No point particles. No “solid”, unchangeable particles

• Evolution at work in colliders

Evolution is everywhere. Even in the strangest places in the Universe. Even in the focus of a collider, where the beams head-on collide producing powerful bursts of energy and matter that reach the detectors. 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. All the physical laws, all the forces and fields involved, all the quantum operators at work, in a flash, to realize the rarest events in the Universe, in the incessant search for a more stable dynamic equilibrium. The most suitable (in the sense of the evolutive adaptation) configurations of forces, fields, action, energy, matter, information, particles / waves will survive, in search of a causal permanence that can produce a chain of new events and new balances between least action and incessant further evolution.
