Physical Action

Definition
Derived Action is any form of Action, other than, more complex of, the Elementary Action.
We call these forms of Action as "derived" because they comes from the organization, the evolution, of the most elementary form of Action.
As the Elementary Action is the expression of the Primary Source, the couple Fundamental Force and Elementary Field, Derived Action is the expression of the Derived Sources, the couples composed by Agents / Forces and Acted / Fields, that manifest themselves through all the derived, more complex, forms of Agency.
We characterize the Derived Action with reference to the different domains of Reality and to the different aspects that compose the Process of Formation of Reality: the Process of Formation of Physical Reality and Process of Formation of Cognitive Reality.
Derived Action is the second point of the "Main causal chain of Reality": Force-Action-Information-Form.
- Derived Action represents the expression, the manifestation of the derived causal Derived Agents / Forces.
- It represents the root of each complex event, of each variation of the dynamics and the states of Derived Acted / Fields.
- It's the foundation of the Reality at all the levels more complex that the elementary one.
- It's the "substrate" of the Forms, both in the physical and in the cognitive domains, organized by the Physical Relations and Cognitive Relations, in Physical and Cognitive Information respectively, and in Structures of Information (Physical Structures of Information and Cognitive Structures - Representations of Reality)
It is the main expression of Agency. It is the product of the inner interaction (Physical and Cognitive Interaction) between Derived Agents / Forces and Derived Acted / Fields, the fundamental manifestation of the Derived Sources.
- Action represents the expression, the manifestation of causal agents, Derived Forces acting on Derived Fields. It represent the act of producing Complex Events, changes in the state of "acted Entities". This is the fundament of the complex levels of Reality. It is the "substrate" of the Physical and the Cognitive Existence and the Physical and the Cognitive Essence / Form, and, more in general, of Information (In-Form-Action), the Structures of Information and the Forms that compose the Physical and the Cognitive Universe in Evolution.
It relates to the distribution of Complex Events in the causal, spatial and temporal dimensions, both in the physical and in the Cognitive domains.
Derived Action express itself in three modes / components. Their are the functional operators that operates at the level of Derived Action in the Process of Formation of Reality.
- The Derived Agents / Forces acting on the Derived Acted / Fields, producing Derived Action, express themselves in three inseparable modes, the modes, the components of Physical and Cognitive Action respecively:
- Perturbation - Perception: specifications of the operator Variation and expression of the Principle of Uncertainty, they transmute the pressure of the Derived Agents / Forces in an incessant flux of variations , fluctuations, of the fundamental parameters of the Derived Acted / Fields
- Translation - Communication: specifications of the operator Propagation and expression of the Principle of Action and Reaction, they transmute the variations in propagational fluxes, directed to the restoration of homogeneity, of isotropy
- Rotation - Storage: specifications of the operator Conservation and expression of the Principle of Least Action, transmutes the propagation of the variations in conservative fluxes, that tend to conserve the same perturbations.
All the forms of Action are limited.
At any level of Complexity, Derived Action represents the transition from the possibile to the actual.
It is the expression of the fundamental features of the two components of the Derived Sources, the Derived Agents / Forces and the Derived Acted / Fields, causality and variationality (spatiality and temporality) respectively, in the physical and cognitive domains of Reality.

Description
Modes of Physical Action
These are the modes of expression of the Physical Action and their correspondence with the modes of expression of the Action in general and the Cognitive Action.
Through these modes, Elementary Action becomes the manifest substrate of any more complex form of existence, the actual "substance" of everything, the basis for the incessant construction and evolution of Reality, of the Universe as a whole in evolution.
| Action | Physical Action | Cognitive Action |
|---|---|---|
| Variation | Perturbation | Perception |
| Propagation | Translation | Communication |
| Conservation | Rotation | Storage |
Action-at-a-distance
In this model of description of Reality, in the system of knowledge that we call Evolutionary Knowledge, there is no room for action-at-a-distance, as intended in the field of Quantum Mechanics with reference to the phenomenon called "entanglement".
This statement is not an "a priori" position against one of the central hypotheses on QM. The evidence of entanglement deriving from the experiments and the current development of quantum technology which is also based on this strange phenomenon, require profound reflections on its nature and on the entire interpretation of Quantum Mechanics.
We do not deny the existence of the phenomenon, but the explanations coming from QM. To really comprehend entanglement I think we must overcome the two main approaches to the historical debate on the fundamental nature of the quantum and the principle of reality.
