Dimensions of Physical Reality

Definition

While dimesionalities are to be considered as fundamental emerging properties of the two components of the Source of Reality, dimensions are intended as ways of observing the world, the Universe and all the Forms that compose it.

We can observe and measure Reality in three fundamental "directions", corresponding to the three fundamental emerging properties of the manifestations of the Source: causality (expression of the Fundamental Force), Variationality, in its components Spatiality and Temporality (expression of the Elementary Field).

We can observe and measure Physical Reality in three fundamental directions, corresponding to the three fundamental emerging properties of the manifestations of the Source: cause (or force), space, time, dimensions that directly derive from the corresponding dimensionalities.

In the field of Evolutionary Physics, three fundamental dimensions of Physical Reality are identified: the causal dimension, the spatial dimension (the "space", the spatial structure that combines the three classical spatial dimensions) and the temporal dimension ("time"). The spatial dimension, the "spatial distance", can be represented by means of many different systems of spatial "three coordinates" (rectangular, polar, cylindrical, etc.) and combined with the temporal dimension to form the four-dimensional space-time continuum. The three fundamental dimensions of Reality, "cause, space and time", manifest themselves in continuous domains, which represent fundamental properties of the fundamental sub-entity: the Elementary Field. All three dimensional realms are relative, relative to the Elementary Action, the distributions of the Elementary Events.

Causality and space-time simultaneously emerge from the inner interaction of the two aspects of the Primary Source. Causality is not prior to space-time. It is the causal action of the Force on the Field that produces the emergence of Causality and Variationality, root of all the fundamental Physical Phenomena:

• Space-time and metric phenomena
• Mass and gravitational phenomena
• Motion and kinetic phenomena
• Charge and electric phenomena
• Spin and magnetic phenomena

the Derived Physical Forces and Derived Physical Fields that we observe in Nature.

(*) Variation as a Dimension of Reality is considered only through its two components Space and Time. For Variation more properly we intend the first of the Modes of Action, the other two being Propagation and Conservation.
