Principles

Definition

In this System of Knowledge, Principles are cognitive representations (patterns, cognitive models) on how Reality (or part of it) manifests itself and evolves.

They express general behaviors of Reality from the most elementary levels to the more complex ones. Principles, together with Processes, are the back bone of the Evolutionary Dynamics. They describe the essential aspects of Process of Formation of Reality, the manifestation of the fundamental operator and the ways of expression of derived Operators of Reality.

Principles express themselves in different forms in the various domains of Reality (physical, cognitive and metacognitive), in relation with the different Dimensions of Reality (Causality and Variationality: Spatiality and Temporality) and with respect to the various levels of complexity of Reality.

The Fundamental Principles of Evolutionary Dynamics describe why and how Events and Relations emerge and co-evolve, why and how Action takes a form, becoming Information, and determining how Existence takes the Essence / Form we see in the world.

Common definition

In general, the term principle indicates the initial bases and assumptions on which a theory is based or based and which assume, by convention or recognized right, general and universal validity within the theory itself; therefore it derives by deduction or logical consequence, or in a manner consistent with the principle itself, a whole series of secondary laws that characterize the theory in question, or vice versa all laws of the theory must respect the cardinal principle of the same to be inserted inside . In the experimental sciences, in general, a principle is unprovable in an absolute sense, but it is assumed to be true by virtue of the multiplicity of the observations that verify it and the predictions that it, and the laws derived from it, allow to do, while at the same time failing, or losing its characteristic of universality, in the presence of even a single experimental evidence that denies it, as is typical of science and its experimental method. In other contexts, as in law and philosophy, a principle is assumed to be such as recognized as legitimately foundational or ethically correct. The term principle can therefore refer to various disciplinary contexts. (Link to Wikipedia page: Principle).
