TFNR - Forms
Forms represent the products of the Process of Formation of Reality, particularly the sub-process of Evolution. This process starts from the Level of the Elementary Action and, through the action of the Operator of Relation, gives rise to the entire Universe across an infinite continuum of levels with increasing Complexity.
They are organized sets or networks of Structures of Information, which enable the propagation, interaction, and conservation of Information.
Forms are in a state of constant evolution and mutation, a process that intensifies with increasing levels of Complexity.
Each Form is composed of a network of Relations that organize the Structures of Information participating in its existence. These networks consist of Elementary Events organized in nested levels of increasing Complexity. The interaction within these networks gives rise to collective behaviors that define the individuality of each emergent Form. When we observe the Form, we cannot see the dynamics of the Elementary Field that constitute its existential substrate. Conversely, when we observe the Field and its dynamics, we cannot perceive the individuality of the Form, which represents its organized expression - the formed essence.
The totality of all Forms existing at a given moment constitutes the Universe. Forms can be either material (e.g., physical objects such as structures, objects, bodies) or immaterial / cognitive (e.g., the semantic relationships between material objects, forms of thought, knowledge, culture). Intangible Forms rely on the interaction of Material Forms (such as living beings or photons transmitting images and signals carrying semantic content) for their creation, transmission, conservation, and destruction / transformation.
For illustration, consider a familiar object: a book. It constitutes a Material Form, an object formed by the set of Relations between the hierarchies of its most elementary Material Forms (e.g., the sheets, the cover, the paper, the glue, the cellulose particles, and the molecules and atoms comprising it). These, in turn, result from the Relations or Interactions between the elementary Structures of Information (Particles and Waves) that participate in their Existence.
Without a Living Being (a Finalistic Agent) with an appropriate cognitive level to attribute semantic value to the existence of the book and / or or the signs printed on its pages, the book remains solely a Material Form. However, when such a Being interacts with the book, the Interaction spans multiple levels across different domains of Reality: from its Material Form to its immaterial or cognitive aspect, represented by the network of Relations between its printed signs. To these signs, the Living Being attributes semantic values, meanings, and an endless chain of associations - each a specific Cognitive Forms.
Physical Forms
Physical Forms are the product of the expression of the Operator Relation in the physical world. They arise from a complex form of Interaction between the two complementary aspects of the Physical Sources - namely, the Physical Agents / Forces and the Physical Acted / Fields - which produces Complex Physical Events. These Events reflect the organization of variations within the Fields that embody the Physical Essence / Form, evolving from the elementary level of Physical Reality to its most complex ones. In essence, Physical Forms comprise the objects that make up the Physical Universe.
They are the result of the organization, relation, and interaction of Physical Structures of Information: organized sets or networks of Physical Structures of Information that confer form to both the Elementary Field and the Derived Physical Fields, under the continuous Action of the Fundamental Force and its associated Derived Physical Forces. These forms are in a state of perpetual mutation, undergoing incessant Evolution toward higher levels of Complexity.
Physical Forms encompass everything observable in the Physical Universe. According to the level of complexity, Forms can be classified as:
- Material Forms
- Immaterial Forms
- Cognitive Forms
- Living Forms - Physical aspects
- Automata Forms - Physical aspects
They organize in systems:
which make up the Universe, encompassing both its cosmological and biological aspects:
- Physical Universe
- Evolution of the Physical Universe
- Cosmological vision
- Cosmic evolutionary dynamics
- Evolutionary Cosmological Model
- Biological vision
- Biological evolutionary dynamics
- Dynamics of Living Beings
