TFNR - Properties of the Structures of Information
Obviously, different kinds of Structures have different Properties. But what do we mean by "Properties" of Physical Structures of Information? Essentially a characteristic (intensive or extensive) that can be observed / measured without changing the identity of the Structure (without transmuting the nature of the Structure of Information; said in terms of this model: without changing the Information, the Form of the Structure, crucially, such to modify the type of structure, e.g. measuring a property of an electron without transforming it into another particle, such as a quark). In other words, any information on the state and behavior of a Structure, or a kind of Structure. We can identify intensive and extensive properties.
In general, we can say that all the Physical InfoStructures have causal, spatial and temporal extension. Other properties are related to the shape of the structure (the form in space), to its dynamics (the form in time) and to the ways in which it can interact with other structures. Many other properties derive from the way in which the single structure is aggregated with other forms. In other words, the properties of the structures imply the properties of the more complex aggregates to which they take part, and the emerging properties of the aggregates imply the properties of the structures that compose the aggregates themselves. The elementary and the complex co-evolve influencing each other.
We can identify intensive or extensive, fundamental or derived, properties. Among the fundamental properties, there are those that relate to the most fundamental aspects of Physical Reality, the primary manifestation of the Source of Reality, Agency and its Dimensionalities: Causality and Variationality (Spatiality and Temporality):
- Causal extension (Complexity): causal distance from absolute homogeneity of / in the Elementary Field. Amount of Action exerted by the Force on the Field needed to produce that Structure. For absolute homogeneity we intend no Elementary Action, zero Perturbation, Translation, Rotation:Chirality and Rotation:AxisOrientation. In other words, no correlations (Relations) between Elementary Events, between the distributions in time of the elementary spatial fluctuations in / of the Field)
- Spatial extension: amount of space occupied by a Structure. Dynamic quantity, dependent on the shape / form, on the Dynamics of the Structure
- radius (or average / mean radius): be careful, particles are not always points or spheres… Their geometric form is everchanging
- volume (or average / mean volume)
- Temporal extension: amount of time a Structure exists. Dynamic quantity, dependent on the Dynamics of the Structure
- duration, lifespan, stability
Among the derived properties, the main ones are linked to the physical quantities that directly derive from the Modes/Components of the Elementary Action:
- Mass: spatial-temporal (Space-time Metric) and Mass form and dynamics / Position of the Structure in space-time, shape in space-time (position of its parts and relations). Amount of Perturbation that characterize the Structure
- Density: amount of Mass divided by the volume occupied by the Structure
- Motion: motion form / evolution of the form -> dynamics -> change of position of the structure in space-time, change of shape in space-time (position of its parts and relations...), change of mass, etc. Amount of Translation that characterize the Structure
- Speed / Velocity (speed as a simplification/reduction of velocity, magnitude of velocity)
- Acceleration (variation of velocity in time)
- Jerk (variation of acceleration in time)
- Charge: Amount of Rotation:Chirality that characterize the Structure
- Charge density: is the amount of electric charge per unit length, surface area, or volume
- Spin: intrinsic angular momentum, angular momentum not of the entire Structure as an object rotating in space, but angular momentum of each point event in / of the volume of the Field occupied by the Structure. Amount of Rotation:AxisOrientation that characterize the Structure.
From these properties come all other derived properties that describe the Form and Behavior, and which determine the Dynamics of the Structures. For example:
- other quantum numbers / properties: particles generation, lepton or baryon number, color charge, flavour of quarks and leptons, weak isospin and weak hypercharge, etc.
- other physical properties:
- thermodynamic properties (temperature, specific heat, heat capacity, melting point, boiling point, thermal conductivity, thermal resistance, etc.),
- electric and magnetic properties (permittivity, permeability, resistivity, electrical conductivity, electrical impedance, electric resistance, capacitance, absorption, polarization, etc.),
- mechanical properties (elasticity, ductility, brittleness, viscosity, hardness / softness, malleability, plasticity, strength, stiffness, etc.),
- optical properties (color, emission spectrum, intensity, irradiance, luminance, luminescence, brilliance, opacity, reflectivity, refractive index, polarization, etc.),
- chemical properties (absorption, concentration, solubility, etc.),
- etc.
To all these physical properties, we add properties relating to the shape of the Structures (which in this model are never point-like, but always have a spatial extension, always occupy a volume, virtually infinite, in fact finite, variable because of their dynamics). In fact, InfoStructures. Waves, Vortices and Interactions, in general, despite having a tendential form (at rest), due to their very nature based on the correlation of distributions of spatial fluctuations (Uncertainty Principle), do not have a form absolutely defined, fixed. Their actual form moment after moment fluctuates continuously around the tendential/ideal form. Furthermore, the form is incessantly influenced by the dynamics of the Structures themselves and by the interaction with other Structures and with the Elementary Field (motion, interactions, impacts, etc.). Most aspects of the form of Structures can and must be expressed in terms of the Elementary Action and its Modes/Components (which determine both the ideal/tendential form around which the actual instantaneous and average form fluctuates, and the forms gradually assumed because of the dynamics).
Different kinds of Structures have different properties. In general, we can say that all the Physical Structures of Information have causal, spatial and temporal extension. Other properties are related to the shape of the structure (the form in the space), to its dynamics (the form in the time), to the way in which it can interact with other structures. Many other properties derive from the way in which the single structure is aggregated with other forms. In other words, the properties of the structures imply the properties of the more complex aggregates to which they take part, and the emerging properties of the aggregates imply the properties of the structures that compose the aggregates themselves. The elementary and the complex co-evolve influencing each other.
Physical Structures have causal, spatial and temporal extension:
- causal extension: Structures are derived centers of action, able to express action, to produce events, to express derived forces in sub processes of formation that from the Force lead to the Physical Forms, composed by the same Structures. They are one of the steps of the main causal chain (Force-Action- Information-Form), representing, as stated, the structured aspect of Information;
- spatial extension: potentially any vortex structure has an infinite spatial extension, the limits being only determined by the decreasing, moving away from the “center” of the structure, of the Action forming the structure in its modes of expression (Perturbation, Translation, Rotation, with their physical quantity counterparts: mass, motion, charge and spin). The same potentially infinite spatial extension, even with a slightly different configuration, characterizes wave structures, always produces by the dynamics of vortex structures. In general, Structures have an extremely huge extension compared with the dimensions of the tiny fluctuation of space time field that characterize the factory of Reality at the Planck scale;
- temporal extension: it can span from the smaller period that can be associated to the Planck time to the supposed infinite lifetime of a stable particle as proton. In general, the lifetime of a Structure is influenced by its shape, by the composition for composite structures, by the velocity of its movement, the energetic environment in which it stays and moves (the local state of the Field: the casual fluctuations of the Field itself and the quantum fluctuations of the same structure), not considering the interactions of the structure with other structures and the derived forces expressed by them.
Each type of Structure of Information has / shows different Properties (attributes, characteristics, ways of expressions, qualities and quantities of Entities, Events, Relations, Processes, Phenomena. Examples of fundamental properties: Causality, Variationality, Spatiality, Temporality, Existence, Essence / Form, Extension and Size, Capacity, Behavior).
The properties of the Structures of Information determine their Dynamics and the Phenomena in which they participate (Phenomena are the answer to the questions "what happens?" and "how happens?"). They are Events organized by Relations. They are what has the property that we call Essence / Form added to the fundamental property of Entities (that produce Events), that we call Existence).
On the physical side of Reality, the fundamental Properties of the Structures of Information, are Space-time extension, Mass, Motion, Charge and Spin. They represent "dynamical states" the Elementary Field itself, organization of the Elementary Action, in its three modes of expression: Perturbation, Translation and Rotation (in its two submodes: Chirality and Axis Orientation).
