TFNR - The states of the Elementary Field

We can observe / consider Physical states essentially at two macro levels of complexity of Physical Reality:

• States of Elementary Field: Physical States at the level of the Elementary Field, regarding the fundamental layers of expression of the Field: the turbulent dynamics of the Modes of Physical Action (Perturbation, Translation, Rotation), the emergent physical descriptions of such dynamics (the Potentials), and the organized patterns that arise from them (InfoStructures).
• States of Physical Fields: Physical States at the level of the Derived Physical Fields, regarding the Derived structured physical forces and fields and the Properties of Physical Structures of Information: Space-time metric and Mass, Motion, Charge, Spin, and the more complex, closer to the discrete / quantized dimension, the Weak nuclear force and field and the Strong nuclear force and field.

A State of the Elementary Field is any possible configuration of the Elementary Field, of the organization of the Physical Relations between Elementary Events in / of it, any snapshot of an elementary Physical Process, in the totality of the Elementary Field or of more or less extended portions of it.

We must consider these "states" as conditions, ways / modes of organization of the Events that occur in the Elementary Field and that make up its Dynamics. Each macro-state corresponds to a different degree of expression of:

• the turbulent dynamics of the Field (Turbulence),
• the emergent physical gradients that describe such dynamics (Potentials),
• the organized entities that arise from it (InfoStructures).

Among the States of Elementary Field, in relation to the way / mode / complexity of expression / manifestation of the "Primary Source of Reality" both from the causal (from the side of the Fundamental Force) and variational point of view (from the side of the Elementary Field), we can identify these four macro states:

• Nothingness → Nonexistence
• Emptiness → Elementary Existence → Absolute Vacuum → Action without a form
• Somethingness → Complex Existence → Essence / Form → Information, Energy, Structures, Void (relative vacuum), Radiant energy, Matter, Forms, Systems
• Wholeness → the whole Existence → the whole Essence / Form → Universe

States of Elementary Field

Nothingness

Nothingness is the state in which there is no expression / manifestation of the Primary Source of Reality. Which contains nothing. Set without elements. Absence of Events, of Action. Absence of fluctuations of the Elementary Field. No Causality, no Variationality (no Spatiality and Temporality). We associate Nothingness with the condition of Nonexistence.

In this state there is no dynamism of the Elementary Field: no fluctuations, no turbulence, no Potentials, no InfoStructures.

It is the state of the Elementary Field that we can define as "negative", characterized by the absence of the Action of the Fundamental Force.

It is a purely hypothetical state as the existence of the Source, and its active aspect we call the Force, presupposes its Action on the Elementary Field, which incessantly operates the phase transition from Nothingness to the most elementary form of existence, Emptiness. We call this phase transition: Creation.

In short: absence of Elementary Event, no fluctuations of the Field, no dynamism, no interaction between Force and Field, no manifestation of the Source.

Emptiness

Emptiness is the state in which there is a first elementary expression / manifestation of the Primary Source of Reality. Absence of inhomogeneities in the distributions of Elementary Events. Absence of structured Action.

In this state there is dynamism of the Elementary Field, but absolutely homogeneous: the Field fluctuates, but all fluctuations are identical, uniform, without gradients, without correlations.

Causality and Variationality (Spatiality and Temporality) are expressed but in an elementary form. No Modes of Action (Perturbation, Translation, Rotation), no useful Energy, no Information, no Structures, no Forms. Only homogeneous Elementary Events exist.

In short: absolute homogeneity of the distributions of the Elementary Events; unstructured Field; no Dark nor Ordinary Structures; no Matter and no Radiation; full stochastic independence of the fluctuations.

Somethingness

Somethingness is the state in which there are more complex expressions / manifestations of the Source of Reality. Organization of inhomogeneities in the distributions of Elementary Events. Presence of Action and its Modes.

In this state:

• Turbulence: structured, non-homogeneous
• Potentials: present (metric gradients, motion, charge, spin, etc.)
• InfoStructures: present (Vortices, Waves, Interactions)

Causality and Variationality (Spatiality and Temporality) are expressed in increasingly complex forms. Emergence and organization of useful Energy, Information, Structures, Forms. Space‑time Metric, Mass, Motion, Charge, Spin, and all derived structured fields.

Unlike Nothingness and Emptiness, Somethingness is a real state. It corresponds to the structured Field.

Energy

• Energy in the unstructured Field
  • Elementary Energy

• Energy in the structured Field
  • Dark Energy
  • Ordinary Energy

Structures of Information

• Dark (invisible) Structures: low‑density diffused extended structures (Vortices: Dark Halos; Waves: Gravitational Waves; Interactions: cosmic web)
  • Vortices composed by:
    • Dark Matter (positive mass): low‑density negative spatial correlations in the distributions of the fluctuations of the Field
    • Dark Energy (negative mass): low / medium‑density positive spatial correlations in the distributions of the fluctuations of the Field
  • Waves / Energy Structures / Radiant Energy:
    • Gravitational Waves: low‑density spatial correlations in the distributions of the fluctuations of the Field

• Ordinary (visible) Structures: high‑density compact structures (Vortices: massive particles as leptons, quarks, bosons; Waves: electromagnetic waves; Interactions: composite particles as baryons and mesons)
  • Vortices:
    • Ordinary Matter + Dark Energy: high‑density inner negative and low‑density outer positive spatial correlations in the distributions of the fluctuations of the Field
  • Waves / Energy structures / Radiant energy:
    • Electromagnetic Waves: high‑density spatial correlations in the distributions of the fluctuations of the Field

The interaction of all the "states" above listed, attributable to the state we call Somethingness, make up the Everything, the whole Reality, the Universe in Evolution, the state of Wholeness.

Wholeness

Wholeness is the state in which there is all the expression / manifestation of the Primary Source of Reality. Which contains Everything, the whole Universe in Evolution, all that exists.

In this state:

• Turbulence: all turbulence
• Potentials: all potentials
• InfoStructures: all InfoStructures
