TFNR - Information: the Evolution of Essence / Form
As we will see in greater detail in this chapter, Information (or In-Form-Action) is the fulcrum of the whole sub-process of Evolution, it is its product, object, form. Product of the interactions of the Events / the Action produced by the inner interaction between the two complementary aspects (Forces and Fields) of the unity represented by the Sources. Object of a more complex form of Agency, expression of the derived Sources (pairs Agents / Acted) in the Formation of Reality. Form of the act of making Essence / Form to evolve.
Information manifests itself as the evolution of Relations between Events, correlations between variations of / in the Fields produces by the Action of the Forces on the Fields themselves, in every aspect, level, of Reality.
In other words, in a general sense, in this system of knowledge, what does it mean to make Essence / Form to evolve, Evolution of Essence / Form, in the context of the Formation of Reality?
It means production of Relations, of correlations between variations of / in a Field produced by the expression (Action) of a Force, a pair of Force and Field, a Source, which exists as producer of Events, of Action, of Existence. So Information as a (indirect) product of the Dynamics of the Source.
In this chapter we will look at Information:
- in a general sense and in relation to Reality as a whole (Information, its Dynamics - Relation / Correlation, Emergence, Complexity - and Operators: Organization, Transformation and Selection, which realize the Cycle of Information),
- at the most basic level of the formation of Physical Reality (Physical Information, Elementary Information: Energy, its forms, its Dynamics and the states of the Elementary Field),
- at gradually more complex levels, where Physical Information manifests itself in all its infinite forms, from those produced by the fundamental Forces of Nature (Gravitational, Kinetic, Electric, Magnetic, Nuclear Action) to the more articulated ones which manifest at the complex levels of Reality (chemical, geological, biochemical, astrophysics, cosmological action, etc., combination of the Information produced by the Elementary Action); Physical Information, Complex Energy, its forms, its Dynamics and the states of Physical Fields)
