TFNR - Ontology, Phenomenology and Dynamics
Evolutionary Physics, with respect to the fundamental questions that characterize this approach, identifies three main research lines.
Ontology
Evolutionary Ontology is the part of Evolutionary Knowledge that studies "what exists" (the Existence and the Entities that create what exists, the Sources that produce the Events, the existence of Reality itself, the Derived Sources, the Forms, the things, the objects that populate the Universe, the sub-process of Creation itself). It describes the Entities that form Reality, everything that exists that is part of the Universal Reality, in terms of the organization of Events, expressed by Agents / Forces acting on Acted / Fields: Action, Information, the Structures of Information that result from the organization of Information, Forms, the whole Universe, "Everything in Evolution". Only for descriptive purposes, as per Reality, Evolutionary Ontology can be seen as articulated in Ontology of Physical Reality, Ontology of Cognitive Reality and Ontology of Metacognitive Reality. Onto (from ancient Greek, means "being", indicating the existential aspects of reality). Ontology studies concepts related to being, as existence, becoming, reality, the basic categories of being and their relations.Existence is an essential property that characterize the fundamental entity, the Primary Source, in its two active and passive aspects respectively, the Fundamental Force and the Elementary Field and the product of their interaction, the Elementary Events, the Elementary Action. In short, we can say that only Events exist. Everything else exists because Events happen.
Finally, we can say that Reality is made by Sources (Entities: Agents / Forces and Acted / Fields as dual aspects of a unique Reality), Events (expressions of the interactions of the dual aspects of the Entities, variations of their states), Relations (the connections between Events), Processes (the Entities interacting produce Events, the Relations among Events constitute the Processes that build the Reality). Processes, in turn, become new, more and more complex, (derived) sources, that produce new events, relations, processes, and so on, in a nested creative and evolutive structure that goes on and on.Phenomenology
Evolutionary Phenomenology is the part of Evolutionary Knowledge that studies "what happens in the way it happens" (Events and Relations - pheno).Events (the variations of the states of the Entities, that emerge through their interaction) and the Relations that, emerging from the interactions among the Events, by organizing them, give Essence / Form to Reality and make it to evolve toward higher levels of complexity.
Phenomenology describes the sub-process of Evolution itself, the manifestations, Action, the Events produced by the Entities, the different typologies and dynamics of the Relations that represent the foundation of the Essence, the Form of Reality.
These are the links allowing the Agents, the Operators of Reality, to express the process of building the dynamic and conservative structures that constitute the Essence of the Process of Formation of Reality.
An endless cycle that makes the universal network of Events more and more complex and interconnected.
Pheno (from ancient Greek, means "showing or manifesting", indicating the observable aspects of reality) is what we can observe. We can observe only Events and Relations, Processes in other words. The impression of the stability of Reality is an illusion due to the distance from which we observe the fundamental phenomena that incessantly build it, everything changes, perennial mutation.
Only for descriptive purposes, as per Reality, Evolutionary Phenomenology can be seen as articulated in Phenomenology of Physical Reality, Phenomenology of Cognitive Reality and Phenomenology of Metacognitive Reality.Dynamics
Evolutionary 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.Dyna (from ancient greek dynamis "power", indicating the effects of forces, the ways forces manifest themselves influencing the world, expressing their power).
It studies the Fundamental Principles of Evolutionary Dynamics, which describe the modes in which Relations emerge and evolve, determining the way Reality takes form, and the evolution of the Relations between the Events, produced by the Entities, the Action and the evolution of causal, spacial and temporal aspects of Reality.
With reference to the various levels of Reality, we can identify various more specific dynamics:
Only for descriptive purposes, as per the Reality, Evolutionary Ontology can be seen as articulated in Ontology of Physical Reality, Ontology of Cognitive Reality and Ontology of Metacognitive Reality.
- Dynamics of the Sources
- Dynamics of Action
- Dynamics of Information
- Dynamics of the Structures of Information
- Dynamics of the Forms
After giving a brief overview to the structure of Physical Reality and to the main parts of the study of it, we can step into a more detailed observation, to examine the entities that act (the Agents), the entities on which they act (the Fields), the principles that drive their expression (the Dynamics), the products of their action (Events, Action, Information and its Structures, the Forms), which form the Universe in evolution, in a crescendo of complexity.
