Space-time and metric phenomena

Definition

As a result of the Principle of General Equivalence, the two arguments Space-time and metric phenomena and Mass and gravitational phenomena should collapse into a single argument. But we are used to considering space-time and mass as two distinct entities or phenomena. In fact, space-time extension and mass density are the same thing, they are (apparently) different manifestations of the same Dynamics of the Elementary Field, of the same Modes / component of the Elementary Action, which we call Perturbation. Thus, we should speak of space-time / mass and metric / gravitational phenomena instead of two distinct and different phenomenologies. Only for descriptive purposes and to maintain a certain adherence to the common vision of reality, we keep these two phenomenologies distinct, which in fact General Relativity has already recognized as intimately linked. Here we take a step further. We recognize their substantial identity, a common origin, nature and dynamics. In short, we do not consider mass here as a source of space-time curvature, of expansion-contraction, but we recognize them as the same thing, the same expression of the same deep and intimate nature of Physical Reality.

Description

Spatial and temporal position and extension

No absolute spatial and temporal positions: no absolute point of reference

No absolute spatial and temporal extensions: no absolute distances, no absolute durations

Spatial and temporal position and extension are always relative, they depend on the space-time metric of the Elementary Field and on the Form, Mass and dynamics of the considered Structure of Information.
