Levels of Reality
Contents
Definition
Observing Reality from different points of view, exclusively for analytical and descriptive purposes, we can identify successive nested levels, both in the sense of causal dimension and in the sense of space-time dimensions (increasing complexity). Going up from the elementary level of the Primary Source (the Fundamental Force and Elementary Field creative couple), through the level of Action, then the level of Information, where the evolutionary processes organize, transform and select the Structures of Information, up to the level of the (material and immaterial) Forms and to the whole Universe in evolution.
We can think these levels as particular views on Reality, as we focus our attention on specific levels of organization of its constituents, the Events. Each level correspond to a part of the Process of Formations of Reality, where specific Operators of Reality, characterizations of the fundamental agent, the Fundamental Force, acting of the Elementary Field.
Furthermore, despite being the result of a unitary and indivisible process of formation, Reality can be observed under different aspects and can be seen as a superposition of different planes of existence:
- Physical Reality (the physical side of Existence studied by Evolutionary Physics; the Elementary Action, organized by Information in radiation and matter, which constitutes the objects and bodies that populate the Universe)
- Metareality (the cognitive side of Reality studied by Evolutionary Metaphysics; the immaterial forms, Information produced by the Cognitive Action expressed by the Finalist Agents, living forms and automata)
- Meta-metareality (The meta-cognitive aspects, a cognitive being that reflects on the cognition, on thinking, studied by Evolutionary Meta-metaphysics; the process of constructing representations of Cognitive Systems and their dynamics)
Common definition
The term level derives from the Latin word libellus, in turn originated from libella, dimension of a pound (balance). It means the degree of elevation of a line or plane relative to a horizontal reference surface. In a more general sense, it can mean a condition, a degree, achievable in various ways.(Link to Wikipedia page: Level).
Description
In describing the Process of Formation of Reality, a unitary and indivisible process, though the levels of organization of the Field are to be considered as infinite, just for descriptive purposes and for simplicity, we can identify the following few fundamental Levels of Reality:
| Level | Fluctuations of the Field | State of the Field | Level of organization of the Field | Notes | Entities | Derived Forces | Derived Fields |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Level of Non-Existence | No fluctuations | Absolute homogeneity | It has no sense, no meaning | Absolute flatness | Nothingness | ||
| Level of the Source of Reality | Creation of the fluctuations | It is the source of organization | Fundamental Force / Elementary Field couple | ||||
| Level of the Elementary Action | Homogeneity in the distributions of the fluctuations | No organization (stochastic independence of the distributions) | Quantum Vacuum / Relative flatness - Elementary Energy? All potential | Absolute Void | |||
| Level of Information /Energy | It represents the organization / correlation of the distributions) | Relative Void | |||||
| Level of the Structures of Information | High level of organization (complex patterns of correlation of the distributions) | The particles of ordinary matter and the structures of Dark Matter and Dark Energy | Material structures: radiation, dark and ordinary matter, dark energy | Gravitational, Electric, Magnetic, Weak Nuclear, Strong Nuclear | Gravitational, Electric, Magnetic, Weak Nuclear , Strong Nuclear | ||
| Level of the Forms | Extremely high level of organization | Atoms (nuclei and electrons), Molecules, Objects, etc. | Gravitational, Electric, Magnetic, Weak Nuclear, Strong Nuclear | Gravitational, Electric, Magnetic, Weak Nuclear , Strong Nuclear | |||
| Level of the Manifestation / the Universe as a whole in evolution | Comprehend all the organization of the world | Gravitational | Gravitational |
Level of Non-Existence
It is the level in which the Elementary Field is in the state of absence of fluctuations, complete homogeneity, minimum organization, minimum complexity. It is a condition of non-existence.
It is an hypothetical level, since the existence of the Source presupposes the Action of the Fundamental Force on the Elementary Field, which incessantly operates the phase transition from the state that we call "Nothingness" to the most elementary form of Existence, the Elementary Action, from Nothingness to Somethingness.
Level of the Source of Reality
It is the uncontactable level of the fundamental entities, the Fundamental Force and the Elementary Field, which together form the Primary Source and represent respectively the sources of the causal and the space-time (enhanced) dimensions of Reality.
Level of the Elementary Action
This is the level of Reality in which the Fundamental Force acting of the Elementary Field incessantly mediates the phase transition between nothingness and the absolute vacuum. In facts, the Force exerts on the Field a constant pressure that incessantly operates the phase transition from the state of Non Existence to the most elementary form of Existence, from Nothingness to Somethingness.
It is the forge of Reality, that incessantly "creates" the Elementary Action, the most elementary level of Existence, the Elementary Events, in the form of fluctuations of fundamental parameters which describe the Field, from whose organization emerges the Information, the Structures of Information and the Forms.
Here the Elementary Field is in a state that we can define "all potential" and we call Absolute Vacuum. It is absolute homogeneity in the distributions of the elementary fluctuations of the Field, state produced by the Action of the Fundamental Force.
Level of Information
It's the level of Reality in which the Action of the Force on the Field expresses itself in the production and in the transformation of networks of relationships between Events. The level in which the relations between the Elementary Events and their pattern of organization, the elementary form of Information, evolve forming more and more complex macro-events, or Structures of Information, organizing in even more complex Forms.
Information, In-form-action, organized Action, the pattern of organization of the Events.
It's the level of the evolutive processes, that at each level of complexity, organize, transform and select the Information, the entity that gives form to the Structures of Information and to the Forms that populate the Universe.
It's the Cycle of the Information. The Force exerts a constant pressure that incessantly operates the phase transition from the chaos to the order, with all the possible gradations of the level of organization, of complexity.
Level of the Structures of Information
It is the level of the elementary structures which emerge from the evolution of Information that organizes the Field.
First part of the Level of Forms, the Level of Structures of Information is the level of Reality in which the Information and the evolutive associated processes (the Cycle of the Information) gives form to the elementary structures that constitute the constitutive blocks of the material and immaterial Forms.
We can find here:
- dynamic structures --> Waves) --> Radiation
- conservative structures --> Vortices --> Matter (elementary particles, for example the electrons)
- Interactions, that realize the Mixed Structures --> Matter (composites particles, for example the nucleons, protons and neutrons, composed by quarks and gluons)
In a physical sense, the Structures of Information are space-time domains in which the micro-states (the dynamics of the point events in the Field) show some kind of organization, represented by a non null amount of correlation in the distributions of the elementary fluctuations of the Field, characterized by the three fundamental aspects of the Elementary Action: Perturbation, Translation and Rotation.
Level of the Forms
the level of the states of matter, the level of the Universe, the level of the composite forms created by the evolution of the relations between the elementary Structures of Information. Information that gives form to other Information, in nested nets, that gives form to a rising complexity),
Il livello delle Forme comprende:
- il Livello delle Forme propriamente detto
- il Livello della Manifestazione
Il Livello delle Forme propriamente detto è il livello della Realtà in cui gli Operatori Formativi e gli associati processi evolutivi danno forma alle aggregazioni, ai sistemi di Strutture di Informazione, in altri termini, alle Forme, materiali e immateriali che popolano l'Universo. Le Forme Materiali rappresentano gli oggetti della Realtà Fisica di cui facciamo diretta esperienza e tutte quelle manifestazioni, che sfuggono ai sensi, che sono associate agli oggetti materiali stessi (la Materia Oscura, la Materia Ordinaria, Radiazione, ecc.). Tra le Forme Materiali troviamo anche i corpi fisici degli Forme Viventi. Le Forme Immateriali rappresentano gli oggetti della Metarealtà, la Realtà Metafisica Evoluzionistica, e comprendono tutte le Forme non materiali prodotte dall'attività cognitiva delle Forme Viventi.

Level of the Forms The level of Forms includes:
*the Level of Structures
*the really said Level of the Forms
*the Level of Manifestation or level of Universe, completely in evolution
The really said Level of Forms is the level of Reality in which the Formative Operators and the associated evolutive processes give form to the aggregations, to the systems of Structures of Information in other terms, to the material and immaterial Forms that populate the Universe.
The Material Forms represent the objects of the Physical Reality of which we experience directly and all those manifestations, that run away to the senses, that are associated to the same material objects (the Dark Matter, the Ordinary Matter, Radiation, etc.). Between the Material Forms we also find the physical bodies of the Living Forms.
The Immaterial Forms represent the objects of the Metareality, the Reality Evolutionary Metaphysics, and include all the immaterial Forms produced by the cognitive activity of the Living Forms.

Levels and Dynamics of Reality
Poiché la dinamica della Realtà è un processo unitario nel quale la Forza incessantemente crea l'esistenza e fa evolvere le Forme - gli oggetti inanimati così come gli esseri viventi – solo a scopo di descrizione, possiamo identificare differenti teorie, differenti dinamiche, che corrispondono ai sopra elencati livelli di Realtà:
- Dinamica del Campo dell'Azione Elementare (incorpora parte della Dinamica Relativistica e della Meccanica Quantistica),
- Dinamica dell'Informazione, o "Dinamica dell'Evoluzione" (incorpora parti delle scienze del caos e della complessità, parti della Meccanica Quantistica, parti della Relatività, riguardanti l'informazione),
- Dinamica delle Strutture di Informazione (incorpora parti della Meccanica Quantistica),
- Dinamica delle Forme macroscopiche (incorpora parti della Dinamica Relativistica e della teoria dell'Evoluzione Cosmica),
- Dinamica degli esseri viventi (incorpora parti della Teoria dell'Evoluzione Biologica, la biologia e tutte le scienze relative agli esseri viventi, dall'organismo più semplice agli esseri umani).
