The resistance/reaction of Acted/Fields

Definition

As passive aspects of Sources, Acted / Fields, as passive parts in the expression of Agency, under the pressure of Agents / Forces, manifest themselves with variations, deformations, exerting an opposing resistance against the acting forces and producing re-actions, counter-actions.

Pressure and resistance, force and constraint together embody the unity in the expression of a source, because pressure implies a force, the causal side, as resistance implies a field, the variational side (resistance can be considered a constrain to a force and at the same time an opposing counter-force).

In the dynamics of Agency:

• an acted field, under the pressure of an acting force, in turn behaves like a force; its resistance (the resistance opposed by the acted field against the action of the acting force) produces a counter-force, a re-action that tries to constraint the original acting force

• the acting force, under the pressure of the reaction of the acted field, in turn behaves like a field; its resistance (the resistance opposed by the acting force against the re-action of the field) produces a new counter-force, a new re-action that tries to constraint the re-action of the field

This dynamics of action/re-action, pressure/resistance, this inversion of roles by force and field, leads to an equilibrium of minimum action, or least action, that is the foundation of all the principles of conservation that we see at work in Nature.

Action/resistance of Agents/Forces and resistance/reaction of Acted/Fields are two of the main properties of Entities.
