TFNR - Individuation

A direct consequence of separability is the concept of Individuation. In this System of Knowledge, by "individuation" we mean the process by which an InfoStructure of the Elementary Field, considered "separable / separate" (by nature, form and internal dynamics falling within the criteria stated above), can be treated as an individuated unitary entity, an individuality, a building block of more extensive and complex structures and forms, but always enucleable as an entity in itself.

An example to clarify. A proton can be considered and treated as an individuated InfoStructure, it is therefore separable and individuable. A quark of that same proton can be seen as a part or a functional portion, but not separable / individuable. In fact, a fundamental characteristic of QCD, together with asymptotic freedom, is the "confinement" that prevents quarks from existing as free particles outside the composite particles of which they are part.

For electrons the situation is very different. Since they are elementary particles (IS of class Vortices, sub-class Elementary Vortices), having no internal structure composed of other particles, even non-separable / identifiable like quarks, but only non-homogeneous internal distribution (turbulent and with an internal profile or map of distribution partly indeterminate partly determined, fluctuating around a complex chaotic attractor represented by the "ideal profile" of the specific type of IS), they must be considered separable, identifiable, individuated, individual entities.

In both cases of free or confined Structures, the criteria that must be applied to establish their separability / individuation are almost the same. In the case of separate IS, confined in larger and more complex aggregates (for example electrons in an atom), recognizing individuality is undoubtedly more complex, also due to the entanglement phenomena that establish dynamic correlations intertwined between all or part of the particles involved and the emergence phenomena that lead to unitary behaviors of the aggregates that can mask the individual behaviors and dynamics of the component particles.

In the context of the concepts of individuation / individuation / individuality, the theme of emergence finds its exaltation. It is precisely in the evolution that leads to the formation of Structures and Forms that can exist in themselves, separable from the others, identifiable, that we see the phenomenon of emergence in all its creative power. We see properties, forms, behaviors, dynamics, etc. emerge, so to speak, from nothing. that we could not deduce or infer from the properties, shapes, behaviors and dynamics of the parts, or in the case of Elementary Structures, of the portions, of the points, in which we can (or, often, could) observe the internal organization, the internal distributions of the Elementary Action in its Components, the Events, the Relations (correlations), the Processes that give life and maintain the existence of these IS.
