TFNR - A recipe for cooking Reality
As anticipated, in this section, I will endeavor to follow a top-down approach, imagining myself as the cook, the creator deity (very immodestly) grappling with the monumental task of generating the intricate tapestry of existence that unfolds before our eyes. I will attempt to identify the ingredients, the preparations, the primary methods, the steps to execute the recipe, and how to plate and serve the masterpiece. A top-down approach to understanding the essence of Reality.
If I were God, or perhaps to temper the idea - If I were a "Source of Reality", tasked with creating a Reality from Nothing, what could I do? What could I employ to construct and give birth to a Reality from scratch?
How would I initiate and orchestrate a Process of Formation of Reality?
From nothing... From Nothing... Form Nothingness.
"Oh God, how could I harness 'nothing'... the Nothing... to create Emptiness, and then craft Something... guiding it to evolve into Everything... to realize the Whole?"
Formation: Creation + Evolution.
Reality, to come into existence (in an almost eternal state devoid of Time), awaits its first expression from a Force - often imagined by humanity as God - a manifestation, an initial Action emanating from a Source, the Primary Source of Reality.
God as a mystical representation of an unknowable, unqualifiable, unconditionable, undescribable Source of Existence and Essence/Form, the Primary Source, the Source of Reality.
God, envisioned as a mystical embodiment of an unknowable, ineffable, unconditionable, indescribable Source of Existence and Essence/Form, the Primary Source - the ultimate Source of Reality.
Without a Source, we cannot cook! And we cannot eat!
Like any esteemed recipe, it demands ingredients (inputs) and methods (a sequence of actions) to craft the desired dishes (outputs). Beyond that, we require "Agency" and its product, "Action", we need an "Agent" (a Force) to execute the proper methods, the sequence of actions upon the inputs, an "Acted" (a Field), producing the outputs. A transformation - a trans-Form-Action - a shift in Form. Together, the Agent and the Acted, Force and Field, constitute a unified whole: a Source.
As with cooking, applying this analogy to Reality, to "Create an Evolving Universe", to produce the outputs, we require specific ingredients and precise methods.
Ingredients
- Nothing or better Nothingness
- a Source (a Source of Existence and Essence / Form, a unitary Entity able to perform the fundamental and elementary Agency to form Reality), with the two aspects:
- a Force, the active aspect of the Source, the Agent, the subject that performs Agency, a causal agent that, in infinite various forms, can operate, can form Reality, a set of Operators of Reality
- a Field, the passive aspect of the Source, the Acted, the object of the performed Agency, a variational acted that, in infinite various forms, takes the infinite forms of Reality
Oh... I put the cook and the kitchen among the ingredients... strange... but here we are talking about cooking the Universe, Reality from Nothing, so...
Methods
- We must follow a Process of Formation to transform Nothing into Everything, Nothingness into Everything, passing through Emptiness and Somethingness
- To transmute Nothing to the Absolute Vacuum, i.e. to pass from a condition, the state of Nothingness to that of Emptiness we need a sub-process, the sub-process of Creation: the Source in the act of producing Events, Action
- To transmute Absolute Vacuum to any single "thing" that exists, i.e. to pass from the condition, the state of Emptiness to that of Somethingness, and then to the Wholeness, we need another sub-process, the sub-process of Evolution, the Source in the act of producing Relations, Information (In-Form-Action), Structures, Forms, Systems, the Universe as a whole
Creation and Evolution as the two complementary sub-processes of the Process of Formation of Reality.
Outputs
- Action (Events)
- Information (Relations)
- Structures of Information (organizations of Event and Relations in medium complexity Processes)
- Forms (organizations of Event and Relations in highly complex Processes)
- Universe (the whole set of low, medium and high complexity organizations of Event and Relations in Processes)
A few more notes on available ingredients and expected outputs...
Operators of Reality
Reality operators are agents derived from the primary agent, the Fundamental Force, the active aspect of the Source, responsible for the action of parts of the formative sub-processes:
- Force Existence - ES: the Agent that performs Agency in the Creation of Existence, producing Events through the inner interaction between the two aspects of the Source, the Fundamental Force and Elementary Field
- Perturbation (Variation), Translation (Propagation), Rotation (Conservation) - the three operators of the Dynamics of Action, of Creation
- Force Relation - REL: the Agent that performs Agency in the Evolution of Essence / Form, producing Relations between Events, making the form of Reality to evolve through interactions, connections, between Events
- Organization, Transformation, Selection - the three operators of the Dynamics of Information, of Evolution
- Wave, Vortex, Interaction: the three operators acting at the level of the Structures of Information (Ordinary Matter Particles and Waves, Dark Matter Halos and Waves)
- Form: the operator that gives form to the objects that make up the entire Universe
States
A few words about the macro-states of the Elementary Field that I mentioned above:
- Nothingness: absence of Existence. Non-Existence or Inexistence (absence of the cook and the kitchen, of the ingredients, of the preparation methods, etc.)
- Emptiness: Absolute Void (or Absolute Vacuum): presence of Existence, but absence of Essence / Form. The "without form" (presence of the cook and the kitchen, the will to cook and the basic actions, absence of everything else)
- Somethingness: from the Relative Void to the Forms, any single object that make up the Universe, passing through waves/radiation, vortices/particles/matter and their interactions (presence of the cook and the kitchen, the will to cook and the basic actions, preparation of the ingredients, application of the methods, progressively more compressed actions, presence of intermediate preparations, etc.)
- Wholeness: the Everything. The Universe in Evolution, in its completeness (the complete lunch, fully cooked and served)
Let's start cooking Reality...
Preparation
- in the quality of the Source of Reality, in the aspect of the Primary Agent, the Fundamental Force, perform the sub-process of Creation: shake the Nothing (producing the incessant and continuous spatial variations in resonance around the Planck scale that we call Elementary Events), forever, without any pause. Be careful, if you stop shaking the Nothing even for an infinitesimally small instant, the Void, which you have built with so much difficulty and toil, will disappear instantly and you may have to start over from the beginning (just like when mayonnaise splits and you have to start over from scratch)
- now that you have prepared the Void, the Absolute Void, perfect and complete uniformity of the temporal distributions of the spatial fluctuations (make sure you don't stop stirring the mixture), try to change a little the rhythm with which you stir the mixture. Introduce a little "uncertainty" in the speed, in the trajectories, in the positions, in the energy you put into stirring it. Oh... by the way... know that you have just created the dimensions. Let's call them: Space and Time!
- light the fire and let it cook forever, with the gas on at the right temperature (intensity of the Force) and everything in the pot duly covered with the right density (the resistance of the Field, constraints)
- always turning slowly, with an uncertain hand, you will see that in the preparation will form small vortices, ripples, let's call them waves, "Structures" in the turbulence that will tend to aggregate in strange Forms sometimes changing, sometimes more stable
- an immediate rapture will seize you and you will find yourself in the pot, enjoying an infinite, eternal, wonderful Universe in Evolution :-)
- plate, garnish with some decorations of life forms and cognitive activity. Serve at the table and enjoy the result. A wonderful Universe, steaming and very fragrant!
But... the kitchen still needs to be cleaned! Where has the cook gone?
