TFNR - Sources
Sources are the causal, spatial and temporal origins of the events that incessantly form the Reality. Sources, even though they are inseparable unities, always manifest two aspects: an active and a passive side. For convenience, having good in mind that they can’t really exist as separated entities, only for descriptive purposes and following the common knowledge, we can identify two kinds of (sub-)entities: Agents / Forces and Acted / Fields.
The properties of Sources
Both the two aspects, tha active and the passive one, forces and fields, contribute to the properties of the Sources, with their peculiar characteristics. The active aspect (force) is responsible for the property that we call causality, that represent the active side of the production of an effect in the form of Events, Actions. The passive aspect (field) is responsible for the property that we call spatial-temporality, the union of the spatiality and the temporality, that represent the passive side of the production of an effect in the form of Events, Actions. It represent the variational aspect of the Source, the Action of the active side on the passive side produced variation in the space-time dimensions of Reality (in an extended sense, as we will describe further in this paper).
Fundamental and derived Sources
The whole Reality, the Universe in evolution, emerges as a manifestation of a unique Source, that express causality, spatiality and temporality. We call it the Fundamental or Primary Source. Everything that exists is the product of a Process of Formation that represents the expression of the creative and evolutive power of that Source. Every Event, every Action, every Information, Structure or Form produces by that process is in turn a new source of events, actions, information, structures and forms. Everything that exists is in turn a new derived source, that manifests, express itself in infinite derived processes that all together compose the infinite Process of Formation of Reality.
The Fundamental / Primary Source
The Source of Reality, the Fundamental or Primary Source, is the causal origin and the space-time texture of the existence and the essence/form of Reality. Its inner aspects / components, the Fundamental Force and the Elementary Field, are the fundamental sub-entities from whose interaction Reality incessantly emerges.
The properties of the Primary Source completely determine the dimensions of Reality:
- cause / causality (a property of the sub-entity that we call Fundamental Force)
- space / spatiality
- time / temporality (space and time, together represent the two properties, or better a unified property, of the other sub-entity that we call Elementary Field).
Force and Field are a unity, two different expressions of the same Source. The Force is the active, the creative side of the Source. The Field is the passive, its receptive side.
Derived Sources
Every Process of Events, so every Action, Information, Structure of Information or Form, can be seen in turn as a new source of events. As the Fundamental Source, even if derived sources are always indivisible unities, they can been seen as force / field couples, whose inner interaction produces Events, Action, Information, Structures, Forms, at the various level of Reality, both in the physical domine and in the meta-physical / cognitive one.
Classification of Sources
At any level of Reality we can identify one or many classes of derived sources. So, we will see that Action, Information, the Stuctures of Information, the Forms that compose the physical and the cognitive Universe represent the product of the various sections of the Process of Formation of Reality, and, at the same time, a new source that, in that same process, leads to the creation / evolution of new products, new steps in the evolution toward the complexity that we see in the Universe.
