TFNR - Universe
The Universe is the entirety of what exists: the Source, Action, Information, Structures of Information, Material Forms (Energy, Matter, etc.), and Immaterial Forms (the intangible product of the cognitive activity of Living Forms, and more broadly, of the Finalistic Agents).
It represents the "present", as defined by Special Relativity, integrated with the Principle of (temporal) Uncertainty - a central concept in Quantum Mechanics, which states that it is impossible to absolutely determine simultaneity for two distinct Events separated in Space. In such a framework, there is no universal time reference system. When Events lack causal connections, their precedence order is not preserved across all frames of reference. Thus, the term Universe refers to the "present" section of Reality (as defined by and subject to the aforementioned limitations and influences). Reality encompasses everything that has existed, exists, and will exist (in the sense of potential future existence). It is the outcome of an incessant Process of Formation, where new Reality is perpetually constructed through the transition from potentiality to actuality.
Through its eternal trans-formation, the Universe is endlessly re-created and evolves under the Agency of the Primary Source of Reality, beginning at the most elementary level - the Elementary Field - and progressing to the most complex levels in the cosmological, biological, and cognitive domains.
Reality and its present section, the Universe, include:
- a physical domain (encompassing all Information / Energy, Dark and Ordinary Matter, the cosmos and cosmic structures, and the physical substrate of living beings, etc.),
- a cognitive domain (referred to as Metareality or Cognitive Reality, which comprises all cognitive activity, dynamics, structures, and processes generated by Living Beings during their existence).
The Physical Universe
The physical Universe, the entirety of everything that exists physically, represents the current temporal section of the Physical Reality - the "present". It constitutes the physical aspect of the Universe, encompassing all that is not a product of the cognitive activity of Finalistic Agents (Living Beings and Automata).
