Variationality and Variation are foundational aspects of Reality, passive, receptive, expressions of the Agency of the Source of Reality. They are, respectively, the Dimensionality and the Dimension associated with Fields (the Elementary Field and all the Derived Fields).
Variationality
Variationality is one of the two fundamental Dimensionalities of Reality, a fundamental emerging Property of Reality, which, in its most elementary forms, manifests as Spatiality and Temporality—the spatial and temporal Dimensionalities which, in turn, underpin the spatial Dimension of Space and the temporal Dimension of Time, two of the phenomenological aspects produced by the Dynamics of the Primary Source and the inner interaction between the Fundamental Force and Elementary Field.
It pertains to the fact and the manner in which variations in the distributions of Events—changes, effects, Action—are produced within the Acted / Fields / within Space and Time, Space-time, under the operative influence of Agents / Forces / Causes, both at the elementary level of Reality, where the Fundamental Force and the Elementary Field interact to generate Elementary Events, and, more broadly, at higher levels of Complexity, where Derived Agents / Forces act upon Derived Acted / Fields to produce more complex Events—Derived Action.
Variationality can be considered the fundamental expression of Agency on its passive side—a core manifestation of the variational principle/property of the Field(s), closely related to the Operator of Reality known as Perturbation, itself an expression of the broader operator Variation.
In a relational approach to the study of Nature, Variationality emerges from the relation between the two fundamental aspects of the Source, and more generally, of all Sources: between Force(s) and Field(s), from the interaction between the Action of Forces and the effects they produce within Fields. Hence, Variationality—like Causality—must be understood as a relational Property with reference to Events. In this sense, we may say that variations do not exist—they happen. They are phenomenological aspects, products of the dynamic interaction between the two aspects of the Source of Reality.
Spatiality and Temporality, together, are expressed as a physical quantity we may call Metric, and the associated Metric Phenomena. Within this domain, we find the concepts of curvature of the Space-time Metric, of position (absolute—unobservable/unmeasurable—and relative), of distance, and—combined with Motion and Kinetic Phenomena—of the concepts of velocity (absolute and relative), acceleration, and so on.
Variation
Variation is the way in which Acted / Fields respond, "react" ("re-Act", "re-Action"), to the Action of Agents / Forces—the manner in which Acted / Fields receive and manifest the expression of Agents / Forces. It is the product of Causality in Action. Variation is the root of the emergence of the Dimensionalities of Reality known as Spatiality and Temporality—the foundations of Space and Time.
