Principle of Equivalence

Definition

The principle of equivalence describes the fact that in Evolutionary Dynamics there are concepts, phenomena, quantities, apparently of different nature, that, in a deeper perspective, can be considered having the same meaning, nature, origin, amount, value, properties, qualities or intensity, etc. Or, even more in general, things that appear to be different observing them in the level of Reality in which they manifest, but that appear to be equal or similar if we observe or describe them in the terms of more elementary concepts, phenomena, quantities, at a more elementary level of Reality.

Description

The principle of General Equivalence

An important example. In the physical domain of Reality, some of the fundamental physical quantities that characterize the manifestation of the Elementary Action (in its basic mode that we call Perturbation) at more complex levels of Reality (as the level of Action, of Information, the Structures of Information, Material Forms) can be considered as equivalent manifestations of the same phenomena and dynamics occurring at the more elementary level of Reality.

The most extended principle of equivalence operates in the physical world, in the real factory of space-time. At this level, the most elementary level of Reality, where the occurrence of the Elementary Events represent the most elementary form of Existence, we can find this fundamental equivalence that give us an explanation of the deep nature of the some basic phenomena and some basic quantity/constant of Nature.

This principle states that the nature of some fundamental phenomena and some associated physical quantity, that is related to what we call mass and mass density, is deeply connected, "equivalent" for instance, to other important aspects of the elementary level of Reality:

• the amount of Perturbation, the density of the elementary perturbations (inhomogeneities/gradients in the distributions of the quantum fluctuations of the Elementary Field that we call Elementary Events) that characterize the Elementary Action,
• mass density, that characterize many physical entities / quantities that we observe or suppose as basic constituents of the physical world: dark matter, dark energy, ordinary matter,
• space-time curvature of the metrics, that determine the dimensions and the geometric properties of physical reality,
• temperature of space-time (CMB),
• velocity of propagation of information/causality in the field or speed of light in the void/vacuum.

These aspects are equivalent and have a unique physical, natural, basis. In this perspective, we can say that mass does not curve space-time. Mass “is” (can be seen, or described, is the same thing of) the curvature of space-time. And not only, as above mentioned. We call this the Principle of General Equivalence, a specification of the Principle of Equivalence.
