TFNR - From Relation to Information: the dynamics of Evolution
Relations are connections, associations, influences, dependencies between Events, or, more generally, between Processes of Events (Structures, Forms).
They are product by interactions between Events in the Field.
Information is what gives form (Essence / Form), organized Action, Action with a form (In-Form-Action), the whole set of Relations that links Events in Processes, the informative elements in Structures, then in Forms, parts in Systems, in a whole, the Universe in Evolution.
At the same time, Action, the causal and the variational root of each Event, the transition from the possible to the actual, is the expression of the fundamental property of the Sources that we call Agency, the act of producing Events, and the same product of Agency, the result of the occurring Events, the product of the causes and variations produced, variations of the same entities that produce the Action, Forces and Fields, Sources at the end.
Dynamics is the part of Evolutionary Knowledge that studies "why and how (Principles and Processes - dyna) what exists (Entities - onto) produces what happens in the way it happens (Events and Relations - pheno)", the Principles and the Processes that describe the Process of Formation of Reality, the manifestation of the fundamental operator and the ways of expression of derived operators.
Evolution is one of the two sub-processes that cooperate toward the Formation of Reality. While Creation is Formation of Events, Evolution can be seen as Formation of Relations, more and more complex relations between Events, in more and more complex Processes of Events.
To observe the form of what happens, the forms of Events in the acting of manifest, the form of Action in the act of being expressed, we need to take pictures, to make snapshots, to stop Time. Only stopping Time (doing a measurement, making an observation) we can see the form of what is happening, of the (partial) result of the incessant process of Formation of Reality. Stopping time, we can observe the shape of things, we can get the Form of Action, to obtain Information, to measure the Energy of a system, Energy, an elementary form of (Physical) Information.
As Action is Events in the act of occurring, Information is the the form of the Relation connecting Events in more complex Events, in Processes of Events, which are the things we can observe, we can measure. Only if we stop time, we can see the result of the Formation of reality, of the incessant Creation of Events and the incessant Evolution of Relations.
This incessant evolution of Relations, which we can observe caching, exchanging, Information, doing measurements, is carried out by the three Operators of Reality operating ad the level of Information, realizing the scheme that we call the Cycle of Information: Organization, Transformation, Selection. These Operators empower the Dynamics of Evolution, the sub-process that gives shape to the whole Reality we are part of.
