TFNR - Action: the Creation of Existence
As we will see in greater detail in this chapter, Action is the fulcrum of the entire sub-Process of Creation: it is its product, its object, and its form:
- Product of the internal interaction between the two complementary aspects (Forces and Fields) of the unity represented by the Sources.
- Object of Agency, the main Property / Behavior / expression of Sources (pairs Agents/Acted).
- Form of the act of creating (forming) Existence.
Action manifests itself through the Creation of Events, variations of / in the Fields due to the Action of the Forces upon the Fields themselves, in every aspect and level of Reality.
In other words, in a general sense, within this System of Knowledge, what does it mean to create Existence—Creation of Existence—in the context of the Formation of Reality?
It means the production of Events: variations of/in a Field generated by the expression (Action) of a Force, a pair of Force and Field, a Source, which exists as producer of Events, of Action, of Existence. Thus, Action is the (direct) product of the Dynamics of the Source.
In this chapter we will examine Action:
- in a general sense and in relation to Reality as a whole (Action, its Dynamics, and its Modes / Components: Variation, Propagation, and Conservation),
- at the most basic level of the Formation of Physical Reality (Elementary Action, its Dynamics, and its Modes/Components: Perturbation, Translation, Rotation with its two sub-Modes: Rotation:Chirality and Rotation:AxisOrientation), what occurs at the Planck scale and its surroundings, with reference to the Elementary Field and the Fundamental Force in their internal interaction,
- at progressively more complex levels, where Derived Action manifests itself in infinite forms—from those produced by the fundamental Forces of Nature (Metric, Gravitational, Kinetic, Electric, Magnetic, Nuclear Action) to the more articulated ones that emerge at the complex levels of Reality, both physical (chemical, geological, biochemical, astrophysical, cosmological Action, etc., combinations of the Action of fundamental Forces) and cognitive (perceptive, sensory, emotional, intellectual, rational, social, economic, ecological, cultural, etc.).
We will attempt to explore more deeply the Fundamental Principles of the Dynamics of Elementary Action, in particular the Principle of Uncertainty, the Principle of Action and Reaction, the Principle of Minimum Action, and the Principles of Equivalence, which underlie the entire Formation of Reality, especially Physical Reality.
Finally, we will mention the Fundamental Physical Quantities and the fundamental constants of Nature, which in their essence represent the projections, onto the most complex planes of Physical Reality, of the dynamics and basic Properties and Behaviors of the Primary Source of Reality in its main Property that here I call Agency.
