TFNR - Propagation
Propagation is the second fundamental mode of expression of Action. It spreads Variation, the substrate of Existence in its most elementary form, in the Fields. Variations, Events, "diffuse", propagate, in the Fields. It is a Mode of Action relative to Reality in its most general aspects. The specifications relative to the two domain of Nature, the physical and the cognitive ones, are Translation (root of motion) and Communication respectively. We can say that propagations don't exists, they happen. This is a phenomenon, a product of the dynamics of the inner interaction of the two aspects of the Source of Reality.
It is associated with the Operator of Reality that has the same name and is the expression of the Fundamental Principle that we call Principle of Variation (everything that exists is in incessant mutation, variation, or better, all that exist "is" incessant variation). Variation, as an Operator of Reality, transmutes the pressure of Agents / Forces on Acted / Fields in an incessant flux of variations, fluctuations, of the parameters that describe the same Acted / Fields.
The Operator Propagation organizes Variations, the fluctuations of the Acted / Fields, in fluxes of Action directed to the restoring of homogeneity, of isotropy of the Fields. The Operator Propagation is responsible form the formation of fluxes / divergence aimed at canceling gradients (inhomogeneities, anisotropies) in the Acted / Fields.
Propagation is the way in which Acted / Fields react to the appearing of Variation produced by the Action of Agents / Forces, the way in which Acted / Fields receive the expression of the Agents / Forces, its the product of the expression of Causality. Propagation is the root of the emergence of the Dimensionality of Reality that we call Spatiality, the fundament of Space.
The best question with respect to Propagation undoubtedly is: what propagates? What propagates is the alteration of the distribution of the Events and the patterns of correlations that link them together. Any departure from an homogeneous distribution of Events as any change in that distribution (and in their stochastic independence / correlation) represents a variation that tend to propagate to restore homogeneity. At any level of complexity, from the most elementary to the Universe as a Whole, Reality can be described as a net of more or less independent / correlated stochastic processes that propagate in the Fields.
Modes of Action are intimately connected with the Dimensionalities of Reality: Causality and Variationality, that produce the Dimensions of Reality: Cause, Space and Time. They represent three fundamental operators in the Formation of Reality. The Operator Propagation, together with Conservation, can be seen as expressions of Spatiality, the first of the two aspects of the passive side of Agency, Variationality.
