Transformation

Definition

Transformation is the second of the fundamental components of The Cycle of Information, the evolutionary engine of Reality, and, at the same time, one of the Operators of Reality acting in the sub-process of Formation of Reality which we call Evolution.

It is the Agent which acts in the Process of Formation of Reality, at any level of complexity, from the most elementary level where the creative expression of the Source produces the Elementary Events, to the whole complexity of the Universe as a whole. It contributes to reducing the complex Processes (Events produced by Sources, organized by Relations) that make up all the Structures, the Systems and the Forms that fill the Universe.

The Operator Transformation, or disorganization, determines the destruction of Relations between already organized Events, the destruction of Information, the reduction of the complexity, of the level of organization of the Elementary Field, of the Structures of Information in it, of Systems, Forms, of the Universe as a whole.

In the Reality, Structures of Information, Systems, Forms are incessantly failing, they are split into constituent structures, disorganized into subsets of events that constitute new raw material for the action of the Organization Operator. This destroys Information at a higher level, the set of Relations between the parts.

Transformation Operator exerts an incessant pressure from order towards chaos, in an entropic sense (in the field of the physics of matter we can identify this operator in the Second Law of Thermodynamics). It embodies a catabolic, destructive, evolutionary process.

It is the way of expression of the Relational Operator which, through interaction, transforms the existing Information, generates new and less complex relational schemes between Events through the Relations between existing networks of Relations among Events.

On a more complex level, this Operator destroys Relations between Structures of Information, the constituent parts of Systems and Forms.
