TFNR - Conclusions: a look into the future
To you, reader, who have had the strength and perseverance to reach this twelfth and final chapter, my thanks and my appreciation. I hope I have managed to convey the great passion that has supported me in this long research that began when, as a child, I took things apart to understand how they were made and how they worked.
I also hope I was able to outline my vision of Reality and how it works, a multilayered reality, where each layer, while appearing to be a separate world, becomes truly understandable and makes sense only if seen as a part of the whole.
A Reality where an immense and infinite Process of Formation, both creative and evolutionary, incessantly transmutes the possible into the actual, builds more and more complex forms starting from more elementary components, and so on up to the infinite complexity of the Universe in evolution.
As we have seen many times in previous chapters, Entities that produce Events organized by Relations in Processes. This infinitely repeated scheme, in an exasperated parallelism, produces the incessant Formation of Reality, both in the physical and cognitive domain of Nature.
In this last chapter, a few more words about this work, about how it originated and developed, about its aims and intentions, about possible lines of development, formalization, observations and experiments, and a last note about its final purpose and meaning for our lives, and what knowledge and consciousness can represent for our individual and collective well-being and development.
About this work
Origin - Aims and intentions
Development - the method
Scope - no toe but everything in the senso of the general cognitive scheme in which accomodate physical and cognitive reality
Sources - beside some original concepts, schemes, and visions, most of the material I used to try to construct this new system of knowledge is traditional knowledge and modern science: the Source (FF and EF) from Taoism, to me the most wonderfull representation how Reality is made and function, even it the ancien text are written expsitions of strange and fantastic images... the language of that times, and the result of oral traditions and infinite transcriptions and translations.
This study also intends to be a manifesto against reductionism, or rather, against an absolute reductionism, which has led science to extremely brilliant results, but, over time, has condemned it to take a series of dead ends and to enter a crisis increasingly acute and difficult to overcome. And at the same time a manifesto against a certain imaginative "science", which loses itself in flights of fancy into the absurd, improbable untestable theories, lost in mathematics, always hunting for new particles, multiverses, unicorns, and who knows what else...
The reductionist approach, an exasperated manifestation of the marvelous analytical power of the human mind, is by itself like a drill capable of reaching unheard-of depths, but always at the risk of getting lost in these same depths. It needs a guide, an overall vision, capable of providing the direction, the purpose, the way. A "systemic" approach (I can't think of another more suitable and commonly used term), a global vision, a manifestation of the wonderful synthetic power of the human mind, which, by itself, cannot lead us to a true, broad and deep understanding of the Fundamental Nature of Reality. Analysis and synthesis, the two fundamental pillars of the search for knowledge, without extremes, must interact constantly, to avoid getting lost in dead ends or in useless superficial visions.
Reality is so multilayered and complex, even at those we think are its most elementary levels. It's difficult to get the unity in the multiplicity, to reach a synthesis in a world dominated by analysis.
There is a lot of work to do. No claims that physics and cosmology are complete and in Nature there is nothing more to explain.
I hope that this work can help and contribute to:
- give a broader and deeper vision of Reality and how it functions
- new hypotheses on the fundamental aspects of Reality
- activate new lines of research, both theoretical and experimental
- refocus science research on the fundamental questions with a more productive approach: less math, more ideas!
