TFNR - The Source of Reality or Primary Source: the Fundamental Force and the Elementary Field
The Source of Reality, the Primary Source, is the causal origin and the variational (space-time) texture of the Existence and the Essence / Form of Reality.
It is the Entity that produce, emit, generate, create the Elementary Events, the Elementary Action, from whose organization everything comes.
Its inner aspects / components, the Fundamental Force and the Elementary Field, are the fundamental sub-entities from whose interaction Reality incessantly emerges. The Properties of the Primary Source completely determine the dimensions of Reality: cause, space and time.
Force and Field are a unity, two different aspects of the same Source. The Force is the active, the creative side of the Source. The Field is the passive, its receptive side.
The only entity whose absolute existence can be affirmed is the Primary Source, in its two aspects, Fundamental Force acting on the Elementary Field. It is the fundamental entity, absolute formative (creative and evolutive) power.
Nothing is absolute in Reality, but the Source. Everything else emerges from the inner interaction of the Force and the Field, in a creative and evolutive process, the Process of Formation of Reality. Even causality and the space and time emerge from the Source and are not absolute entities. They too are made of Events, made by that inner interaction that produces the most elementary form of existence, the Elementary Events, the Elementary Action. Both space and time (local) extensions (distances in space and intervals in time) depend on the (local) average intensities of the distributions of the Elementary Events, the tiny fluctuation of the Elementary Field at the Planck scale.
The Primary Source is the Entity which, through the Action of the Force on the Field, mediates the transition from Nothingness to Emptiness, from Nothing to the Vacuum (sub-process of Creation: production and dynamics of Events, of Action) and from Emptiness to Somethingness, from Vacuum to Something (sub-process of Evolution: production and dynamics of Relations, of Information), the two sub-processes that make up the Process of Formation of Reality, and its expression in the physical domain, the Process of Formation of Physical Reality. The Source transforms the absolute, the "Nothing", in relative, in Existence, in Something. In its active aspect that we call the Fundamental Force, the Source represent the fundamental Agent of reification, transmuting the potential, the Possible into the Actual. The Fundamental Force and its derivations, the Operators of Reality and all the Derived Agents / Forces that act at the various levels of complexity, create and makes Reality evolve, organizing Events with Relations in Processes. That's all that exist. Nothing less, nothing more.
The Source is an "impersonal, unintentional, unwilling, no cognitive"" natural entity without finality. From its expression, the existence emerges, and the whole Reality evolves. However, the Source, origin of all the possibilities, of all the evolutive lines of Reality, is the causal origin of the evolution toward intention, will, cognition, life, and so on. Finality emerges as complexity arises.
The fundamental causal entity, root of the creation and the evolution of Reality, is not pure chance, not a mere casual fluctuation, absolute chaos without a direction. The Source is not even an intelligent entity, a god, a supernatural, a super powerful agent. In other words, in this system of knowledge, Reality is not seen as a fruit of pure causality, as most of the science proposes, nor as a product of the creation of God/Gods, the result of an intelligent design, or whatsoever a supernatural effect, as in most of the religious beliefs.
Chaos and casuality together with direction, organization, emergence are the fundamental characterizing aspects of the manifestation of the Source. Observing Reality, the Universe in evolution, it is so evident that these aspects coexist, as creation and evolution co-operate in the incessant formation (construction) of Reality.
The properties of the Primary Source completely determine the dimensionalities / dimensions of Reality:
- causality / cause / (a property of the sub-entity that we call Fundamental Force)
- spatiality / space
- temporality / time (spatiality and temporality, together represent the two properties, or better a unified property, of the other sub-entity that we call Elementary Field).
We can say that the Source exists, because it produces the fundamental form of existence, the Elementary Events, the Elementary Action, the existential substratum of Reality, that supports Information, what gives form to the Action, the relational (Essence / Form) substratum of Nature.
All the Structures of Information and the Forms, that dynamically and evolutionarily make up Reality, possess the property of "derived existence", as different organizations of the Events that make up the Elementary Action.
So, "why is there the Source?". The reason why there is a source of existence, in my opinion, will remain forever unanswered. This is and will ever be a mystery, the only mystery that we ought to accept as non-resolvable... our limit in knowledge...
