TFNR - Physical Information

Everything we said in the previous sections "Information: the Evolution of Essence / Form", "Information: the product of the Dynamics of Action" and "The Dynamics of Information: Evolution toward Complexity" can be resumed and declined on the particular aspects of the physical domain of Reality.

Synthesizing...

Physical Information is what gives form in a physical sense (Physical Essence / Form).

At each level of Physical Reality, Physical Information is organized Physical Action, the whole set of Physical Relations, produced by the expression of the Operator Relation in the physical domain, which links Physical Events in Physical Processes, the informative elements in structures, then in Physical Forms, parts in Physical Systems, in a whole, the Physical Universe in Evolution.

At the most elementary level of Reality, at the level of the Elementary Field, Information manifests itself as correlations between "the temporal distributions of the elementary spatial fluctuations aroud the Planck scale" (Micro-states) that represent the elementary constitutive units of Reality, the most basic substance able to support Information.

At the more complex levels of the Physical Structures of Information, where we find Halos of Dark matter, Particles of Ordinary matter and Radiation, Information manifests itself as patterns of Relations between InfoStructures, immaterial Information that organizes Information in the form of Matter.

Physical Information is the object and the product of the Physical Evolution.

It is the pattern of organization of Physical Relations, which link Events in Processes, the Information elements in Structures, the parts in a System, in a whole.

It is the organizing element in "chaos-order" Processes, the key element in the evolution towards Physical Complexity.

It is what we currently call Energy, in a broad sense.

Any "inhomogeneity" of a Physical Field. Or better, any "inhomogeneity" in the form of the distributions of the Events of a Physical Field.

In this model of description of Reality, Physical Information is Physical Action (Physical Events) that takes form through Physical Relations. At the most elementary Levels of Physical Reality, Physical Information is represented by the sets / nets of Physical Relations that organize (the distributions of) the Elementary Events, the Elementary Action in its Modes / Components. Only inhomogeneous sets / nets of Physical Events manifest, represent, "are" Physical Information -> Energy. Homogeneity represents the minimum level / amount of Physical Information (absolute homogeneity: no Information).

The Cycle of Information, as the evolutionary engine of Physical Reality, is acted by the following Operators:

• Operator Organization --> Physical Organization
• Operator Transformation --> Physical Transformation
• Operator Selection --> Physical Selection

In the Process of Formation of Physical Reality we find Physical Information: it's the Information that organizes the Physical Structures of Information and the Physical Forms, produced by the physical activity of the Quantum Agents and the Deterministic Agents:

• Material Forms: the objects made of Dark matter, Dark energy, Ordinary matter, Radiation and Ordinary energy
• Living Forms - Physical aspects
• Automata Forms - Physical aspects

All we can experience is Information: "In - Form - Action = Physical Action taking Form, the Form of Physical Action.
