TFNR - Operational Agents (Operators of Reality)
Operational Agents, or Agents of Reality, are the fundamental causal entities that give life to Reality. They are "centers of causal action", that create and give power to the evolution of Reality.
Each operator and each entity involved in Process of Formation of Reality (PFR), each structure, each existing Form, from the elementary Field to the Universe in its complex, is an Agent, a center of causal Action. Reality is therefore an interconnected network of Agents in incessant evolutive and co-constructive interaction, Agents that express themselves at all the dimensional and complexity levels.
The Fundamental Force, the causal former Operator of Reality, manifests itself in various functional forms in the PFR. It has two forms of manifestation, the Existence Operator (EX) and the Relation Operator (REL). The Derived Agents or better the Derived Operators are manifestations of the fundamental operator that operate a specific work in the PFR.
The Existence Operator (EX) causes the Creation of Reality in its most elementary form, the most elementary form of Existence, the Elementary Events that represent the Elementary Action.
The Relation Operator (REL) causes the Evolution of Reality in its more complex, derived, aspects, the complex Events that we call complex Action, that emerges from the organization of the more elementary events in more and more complex networks of relations.
We can say that the Existence Operator is the expression of a more general "Relation Operator", expressing itself in causing Creation at/of the most elementary level of Reality. And, vice versa, the Relation Operator is a more complex expression of the Existence Operator, expressing itself in causing Evolution at/of the more and more complex levels of Reality. Specular manifestations in the scale spanning from the elementary to the complex, different manifestations of a unique Source of Agency and resistance, activity and passivity, creativity and receptivity.
The Derived Operators, at the same time, are Agents, that play a specific role in the PFR, and entities, manifestation of the Force, in the Reality. Entities, building blocks in the construction of the evolving Universe. So, we can talk as well of events and processes of events, entities and derived forces.
In the PFR we can identify different and complementary aspects of Reality, that correspond to the three vertical sections, or columns, of the PFR scheme:
- dynamic aspects: all the events, entities and derived forces that spread, transport, the Action in the Field, that realise the quality that we call "divergence". In the Process of Formation of Physical Reality (PFPR), these aspects are embodied by the Operators: Translation, Organization, Waves. They represent the active side of Reality, or the active powers;
- conservative aspects: all the events, entities, derived forces that centralize, conserve, the Action in the Field, that realise the quality that we call "rotation/curl". In the PFPR these aspects are embodied by the Operators: Rotation, Transformation, Vortices. They represent the passive side of Reality, or the passive powers;
- equilibrium aspects: all the events, entities, derived forces that, composing the two dynamic and conservative aspects, realize differentiation and relation, the quality that we call "gradient". In the PFPR these aspects are embodied by the Operators: Perturbation, Selection, Interactions, Forms
So, we can classify the above operators, the PFPR derived agents, with respect to two main factors: complexity (the different nested levels that characterize Reality) and ways of expression of the Force (equilibrium, dynamicity, conservation):
- Level of Elementary Action
- Perturbation (equilibrium aspect – gradient)
- Translation (dynamic aspect – divergence)
- Rotation (conservative aspect – rotation/curl)
- Level of Information
- Organization (dynamic aspect – anabolic, constructive processes)
- Transformation (conservative aspect – catabolic, destructive, transformative processes)
- Selection (equilibrium aspect – the relational processes that lead to causal permanence)
- Level of the Structures of Information
- Waves (dynamic aspect – the root of radiation)
- Vortices (conservative aspect – the root of matter)
- Interactions (equilibrium aspect – the root of the dynamics of matter and radiation)
- Level of the Forms/Universe
- Forms (equilibrium aspect – the key of the development of the objects of Reality, the Universe in evolution)
These operators, in infinite combinations, do all the formative (creative and evolutive) job in the PFR (both in the PFPR and in the PFMR the process of formation of Metareality/cognitive reality). The Action of the Operators on the Field produce, construct, make the Universe to evolve in an infinite process of structuration that leads to an incessant rise in complexity.
