On Prena --the Preexistent State of
Nature
The
object of TRUTON is to study Nature, from its
inception, within the general context of its
existence. In TRUTON, the existence and the
properties of Nature's objects are independent
of our own existence. Arguments of how we see or
perceive the objects of Nature have no place in
TRUTON. Imaginary objects or representations
that can be produced entirely by our given Brain
be they dreams, illusions, beliefs, or various
perceptions are all outside of the realm of the
TRUTON studies.
In
TRUTON, all the objects describing various
aspects of Nature are residing, as stated,
outside of our own existence and are called
non-imaginary objects. Our own sense
perception existence or believes can never ever
be used in any of our arguments or illustrations
describing Nature. In TRUTON, the only thing
that we have at our disposal is our
cultivated Common Sense and, as in
Mathematics, our cultivated Rational
Deductive Reasoning.
Before
we begin with our study of Nature, we, of
course, need to define it! Questions like,
What
is Nature?, What is its primeval
format?, Does Nature has an origin and,
if so, what that origin could be? or Is
there a primeval agent that created and
developed Nature?, or Is there a
direction or an end for Nature's
development?
were some of the questions that have consumed
humanity from antiquity to present.
Out
of that mental turmoil, Religion was born
--that massive speculative undertaking of the
human mind that evolved to incorporate not only
a system of beliefs but also to be associated
with specific cultural, moral and ethic systems
vested in a specific lifestyle that purportedly
was reflective of the universal laws governing
Nature and the Cosmos.
A
staggering number of such self-proclaimed
religious systems evolved. Some scholars now
estimate to exist some 4200 organized religions
in the world. Arts associated with Religion (be
they in music, sculpture, painting,
architecture, pottery, or poetry and
literature), and referred as sacred arts,
produced a dazzling array of magnificent
masterworks unparalleled in their beauty,
splendor, and their vast variety. Their
indelible addition to the human cultural
heritage is truly spectacular and beyond
dispute. What has been disputed has been the
various religious dogmas that they were
subjugated to carry or reflect.
The
development of science continuously has been in
a collision course with their respective
religious dogmas. That collision course chiseled
and continue to chisel the development of our
ever evolving civilization and understanding of
the natural physical laws governing Nature and
our place in it.
Cosmology,
as a science and a branch of Astronomy
--the oldest science of Nature, had the task to
entertain those very issues that gave birth to
Religion. A number of cosmological models,
throughout several centuries, emerged --all
based however on "scientific" speculations that
nevertheless were speculations that were
interpreted to support some scientific physical
observations.
The
latest such speculative cosmological model that
represents the current prevailing cosmological
view is vested in the so-called
Big-Bang
cosmological model
that
considers that a point of infinite mass,
density and temperature --willy-nilly-- exploded
somewhere somehow generating the perceived
expansion of the Universe we know. This newly
almost universally embraced cosmological model
since 1970s was first proposed in 1927 by the
Belgian priest turned scientist Georges
Lemaitre. His speculative cosmological views
were cemented two years letter, in 1929, with
the discovery of Edwin Hubble that the galaxies
and quasars around us appear to be redshifted as
if they were running away from each other and
interpreted as the observational proof that the
cosmic space itself, and thus that the Universe
itself, expands.
To
account how from a homogeneous point-mass, a
non-homogeneous Universe could emerge,
additional speculations were added over the
years making that path of speculations over
speculations no different than the speculative
path of Religion. Of course, no mention was made
whether or not the presumed Big-Bang explosion
was an out-of-the-blue singular isolated event
leading to the creation of our Universe OR
whether, in fact, that Big-Bang is part of a
"natural" system of such explosions leading up
to the creations of other universes similar to
ours.
! DO
NOT
OVERPASS
.
In TRUTON, as outlined in a previous page,
we follow to the letter the method employed by
Mathematics in discovering new things. Our start
in TRUTON is identical to the one employed in
Mathematics. A System of Axioms found, say, in
Geometry is being replaced in TRUTON with
the
most general simplest primeval physical
system
that our cultivated Mind can conceive to exist.
Out of that given most general simplest
primeval foundation, using our rational
deductive reasoning, and nothing else, we shall
attempt to reconstruct the birth and the
development of Nature --an entity yet to be
defined. The existence of our Universe should
emerge as one of the many universes that are
populating Nature.
All
formations and phenomena in TRUTON are
straightforward consequences derived from our
rational deductive reasoning and nothing else.
No willy-nilly events, such as the speculated
Big-Bang event, will ever be part of TRUTON. The
creation of events and phenomena in TRUTON will
have no mystical connotations of any sort as
they will be the result of logical inferences
identical to how results and discoveries are
achieved in Mathematics. In a nutshell, this is
the blueprint of TRUTON that we shall attempt to
follow.
We
call Prena
(pN)
the givenpreexistent state of Nature that must
represent the
most general simplest physical
system
that our cultivated Mind can conceive to
exist.
.
We
begin with our identification of
Prena
by seeking to identify the primeval
given ingredients that should
exist in Prena. Because they are
given ingredients, their origin
cannot be questioned in a meaningful manner
similar as we can cannot question, in a
meaningful way, the primeval elements employed
in Mathematics.
In
TRUTON, fostering the stated method of
Mathematics and adding to it our cultivated
Common Sense, we define now a given
primeval entity as an entity whose origin
cannot be questioned in a meaningful way and
which, in addition, is satisfying these three
(3) basic conditions:
i)
its state of existence is the
simplest conceivable state and hence
its state cannot be reduced into a
more simpler state --the
bottom-line requirement; ii) its state of
existence cannot be derived from
anything else --the inception
requirement; and, iii) its state of existence
is unique --the uniqueness
requirement.
Armed with that understanding, let us begin
looking for TRUTON's given
primeval ingredients.
1.
On the Given Primeval Ingredients
(Prings)
We
begin with this bottom-line primeval
inquiry by asking this simple, but
rather fundamental question:
In
physical terms, what is the absolute
simplest structure that a domain or
a volume can have?
To
this, one may respond with the trivial answer
that the simplest physical structure is
no structure at all, i.e., that the
domain be physically unstructured. The
absolute vacuum (AVA) therefore is the
most trivial candidate.
But
now, let's say that someone else will intervene
in that discussion, stating that we may conceive
as an equally good answer that of
"filling up" the respective volume with a
material continuum that has in fact a
given finite, constant, non-zero,
material density whose value can only be
increased through compression, but it can never
be decreased. We call that unilateral elastic
continuum substance that can only be compressed,
but not decompressed, the xenobase (XB)
and add, that it has the lowest non-zero
material density that could exist.
That
xenobase
(XB)
substance, as defined, satisfies all three
conditions of a given
entity. Indeed, the first two conditions are
straightforward and, for the proof of its
uniqueness characteristic, see it
below:
Proof
of the Uniqueness of the Xenobase (XB)
state:
To
prove the uniqueness of the xenobase
(XB), we resort at the classical
method employed in Mathematics
called in Latin "Reductio ad
Absurdum" ('Reduction to the
Absurd' or 'Proof by Contradiction')
where we assume that the contrary is
true and using deductive reasoning,
we reach an absurdity.
We
begin by assuming that XB is not
unique i.e., that there are,
say, two independent XB-blocks,
XB1 and XB2,
whose respective densities
d1 and d2 ,
are different say
d1<d2. As
we begin squishing the
XB1-block to increase its
density d1 in an attempt
to reach the value of d2
, the XB1-block
transforms into a xenofluid
(XF)
block loosing therefore its
XB-state. The uniqueness of the
XB-state is firmly established as
one, and only one, lowest material
density can be associated with the
XB-state.
QED.
[By
the way, we have called that rather
strange continuum that only can be
compressed but not decompressed the
xenobase (XB), noting now that
"xeno" in Greek means "strange."
The "xeno"
prefix will be associated with other
"strange" primary
entities.]
Combining
those two answers with respect to the simplest
structure a physical domain can have, we arrive
at the most general simplest physical
structure of a domain that is a xenobase mass
with holes of absolute
vacuum (AVA)
in it, called holeons (HOLs), denoted
also with Øs, as in a sponge or a
Swiss-cheese block (figure at left). We call an
object or block with that structure the
--baseholon (bHL) which represents indeed
the most general simplest physical
structure that could exist at the base level
(BALE) state of existence.
Thus,
a baseholon
(bHL)is a xenobase (XB) mass with
absolute
vacuum
(AVA)
holes in it. That
bHL,
by being the simplest most general
structure of a mass, is the starting
material "fabric" of TRUTON.
The
two ingredients, the
xenobase
(XB)
and absolute
vacuum (AVA),
are satisfying all three conditions as of being
given
primeval entities and, as such, they are said to
represent the primeval
given
ingredients. No other
base
level (BALE)
ingredient our cultivated Mind could conceive
and, as such, baseholons
(bHLs)
are the most general simplest entities to
be found at the BALE
state of existence.
Those
two primeval BALE
ingredients, XB
and AVA,
can coexist and be associated side by side as
they preserve their respective identities. And
that is because there is no physical process
that can convert one into another. As such,
their association, called the ultimate
primeval association (upa), represents the
most general simplest structure that a domain or
volume can have. We mark that pivotal
recognition, transcending from Mind into
the study of Nature, through
The
First
Universal Transcendental Principle Of
TRUTON
(1st UTPOT): On
the Ultimate Primeval Association
(UPA)
The
xenobase
(XB)
and the
absolute
vacuum
(AVA)
are the ultimate
given
entities that can be conceived
to exist in
Prena.
They represent the ultimate
given
constituents whose association
form the
ultimate
primeval asociation
(upa).
Definitions: .1.
We call prematter
(pM)
the substance made of upa,
i.e., the admixture of the
xenobase
(XB)
and the absolute vacuum
(AVA)
and write this symbolically as follows:
pM={XB, AVA}.
In there, the xenobase
(XB)
is the material component of prematter
while the absolute
vacuum (AVA)
is its non-material component. .2.
We call premass (pM) a block (or body) of
prematter
that contains in it its
material
XB-component.
With
the introduction of
prematter
(pM)
and of the baseholons
(bHLs),
the picture of Prena
begins to emerge: bHL
and XB
blocks surrounded by the limitless void that is
the absolute
vacuum (AVA).
Is that the most
general
picture of Prena
that we could conceive to
exist? Well,
the answer is NO because up to this point, we
have considered Prena
to be in a static state. For a most general
scenario, we need to introduce a
given
preexisting primeval motion for its
baseholons
(bHLs).
And the simplest motion that can be conceived to
exist is the scattered randomlinear
translatory (LITRA) motion of
constant speed. The static state of rest
is the particular case of
LITRA
when that constant is null.
And
that simple, but rather fundamental, recognition
that the stationary
state of rest,
is in fact a particular case of a
linear
translatory
(LITRA)motion of constant speed was perhaps first
recognized by Isaac Newton who, in his
seminal Principia, placed
as his First Law Of Motion (FLOM) this
proposition:
"Every
body continues in its state of rest,
or
of uniform motion in a straight line,
unless it is compelled to change that
state by forces impressed upon it."
[underline supplied].
With
this, we now recognize that the
randomLITRA,
by being the simplest most general form
of motion, is going to be TRUTON's
starting givenform
of motion for its primal
objects.
In TRUTON, the
primalmotion (primot) is being
placed in Prena,
as a given
fundamental primeval entity and, as such,
we can talk thus about the
givenprimeval dynamics (pridyn) in
Prena.
With that global vista of
Prena,
we note that Kant's Motto, placed at the top of
our pages, needs to be amended in TRUTON to
incorporate motion
alongside matter,
for the primal foundational
given
constituents:
"Give
me the simplest form of
matter
and motion
(mamo),
and I will build, out of them, the
world of Nature."
2. The Primeval Dynamics (PriDyn) Of Prena
As the Generator of Primal Evolution
From
the introduced primeval dynamics of Prena
(pridyn),
we recognize that Prena's
primeval blocks (of XB
and bHL),
by executing randomLITRA
motions, will disturb Prena's "tranquillity"
because some of those moving blocks will
inevitably collide one into another. The simple
fact that the given
primeval dynamics (pridyn)
that exists in Prena
can disturb its stability is a most remarkable
recognition indeed, since evolution can
occur only when stability is being broken or
destroyed. No evolutionary act can occur without
a disturbance of some sort. We mark that rather
fundamental recognition, transcending from
Mind into Nature,on evolution
through
.
The
Second
Universal Transcendental Principle Of
TRUTON
(2nd UTPOT): The Universal Principle of
Evolution (UPE)
,
Evolution
can occur only when and where
stability
is being disturbed and broken OR
where stability
does not exist at all.
If
the disturbance is required for evolution to
occur, then an agent
must exist that would create the disturbance.
What that agent could be? --is another part of
the puzzle that needs now to be
elucidated.
From
the primeval
dynamics (pridyn)
of
Prena,
we can "see" not only the origin of the
primeval evolution, but also the agent
that was able to create it: it is
the Collision that must exist due to
the givenrandomness of LITRA.
That monumental finding of the role of
Collision
as being the creator
of the primeval evolution makes
Collision
as the primevalinitiator and agent of
creation (PIAC). We mark that truly
monumental finding, transcending from Mind
into Nature, on the role of the
Collision
through
The
Third
Universal Transcendental Principle Of
TRUTON
(3rd UTPOT): The Primeval Initiator and Agent
of Creation (PIAC) The Underlying Common Engine of
Creation (UCEC)
Collision
is the
primeval initiator and agent of
creation in Prena and the
underlying common engine of creation in
Nature.
.Remark:
For those seeking comfort in the
existence of a
"Creator
of the Universe" (embodied in the
elusive, indefinable, omnipresent,
multifaceted God)
and
interested in deciphering the
Creator's
"modus
operandi,"
then in TRUTON, the Collision plays
that role of the "Creator."
In TRUTON,
all primeval "tools" of creation are
derived from Collision.
The creation
of our Universe, from the many existing
universes is, as we shall see, a direct
product of the
Collision.
The evolution and the formation of
new
qualitatively
objects cannot exist without the
existence of the
Collision.
[It
is perhaps of interest to note
that it was
Immanuel
Kant
in his
Cosmolgy("Universal Natural History
and Theory Of Heavens,"
Part II, Chapters 1, 8)
who first advocated,
trough his cosmological
doctrine, of a mechanical
origin of the Universe.
One such physical
Collision,
out of the many to be found in
Prena,
represents indeed that
physical origin of our
existing Universe as
contemplated by Kant with so
much conviction and
zeal.
With
respect to the primeval
initial dispersion
setup of Nature, Kant made
these stunning introductory
remarks in the Preface
of his noted
Cosmology
book that resemble, in a way,
the initial dispersion
setup of TRUTON's
cosmology:
"Now
I will confidently
[...] assume
the matter of the
whole world to be
universally dispersed
and I make complete
chaos of it. I see
matter form in
accordance with the
established laws...
Without the
assistance of any
arbitrary inventions,
I enjoy the pleasure
of seeing the
creation of a
well-ordered whole by
reason of established
laws of motion which
looks so much like
the system of the
world we have before
our eyes that I
cannot help but
regard it as the
same. This unexpected
development of the
order of Nature on a
large scale initially
seems suspicious to
me because it bases
such a composite
rightness on such a
poor and simple
foundation."]
I.
Kant
.
The
Collision,
as the primeval initiator of
Creation, implies that it is
also the
ultimate
engine of all creations
in Nature. As such, we say
that
Collision
is also the underlying
(or ultimate) common
engine of allCreation
(UCEC).
.
Now
that we have identified the Collision
as the ultimate primal initiator and agent of
creation (PIAC),
it is clear that the study of the primeval
collisions of Prena's XB-blocks will lead to the
very
beginning of
Creation.
The
study of xenobase
(XB)
is therefore essential in discovering the
results generated by the
Collision.
The properties of the
xenobase
(XB)
substance are of paramount importance for that
study to take place. So far, we have introduced
XB
as being a continuum of the lowest material
density that can be readily compressed, but
impossible to decompressed.
The
introduced primal givenxenobase
(XB),
is now being refined and be called the virgin
xenobase (vXB).
xenorigid
Upon compression, that
virgin
xenobase (vXB)
transforms into a qualitatively new substance
called xenofluid (XF) whose density is
function with the level of compression: the
greater the compression, the greater the density
of XF
is. At a maximum finite compressional level, the
xenofluid
(XF)
will transform into a qualitatively new
substance called xenorigid
(XR).
Now,
if left unconstrained, that
xenofluid
(XF)
mass, by not having a mechanism of keeping its
compressional state, will decompress into a
tensioned xenobase (tXB) mass. The
tension in that created
xenobase
(XB)
mass is due to the inertia of
decompression (inerdec). Because of that
IOD,
the tXB,
unlike the vXB,
has acquired a base resistance to
compression (BAREC).
BAREC,
as such, is the bottom or the base resistance
to compression (RECO) that was
acquired by the xenofluid's interdec.
The necessity of BAREC's
existence is further cemented in the next
page.
The compressional force (comforce), once
infused, creating the
xenofluid
(XF),
transforms itself into the equal and
reverseforce of decompression
(fordec). And that equality in
magnitude is because
fordec
is noting else, but the flip side
reincarnation of comforce.
We mark that rather subtle, but profound
recognition into
The
ThirdFoundational
Universal Recognition Of
Nature
(3rdFURON): The
Force of Decompression (Fordec)
Principle
All compressed inanimate states are
endowed with an underneath balancing
force of
decompression.
Remarks: 1.The infused compressional force
(comforce),
once created, cannot vanish and
transform into Nothingness --an
entity devoid of everything, but its
own existence. (And that is because in
Nature, there is no transformation that
can reduce something into
Nothingness!)
In fact, when
comforce
ceases its existence, its reverse
flip side come into existence
which is the balancing force of
decompression (fordec).
With that Side-FlipSide package, the
global ZERO-balance of the package is
being established. 2.
Newton's 3rd Law of Motion
(formulated that "for every action,
there is an equal
and opposite reaction"), has its
substratum in the
3rd FURON.
The
recognition of the existence of
fordec
can be construed, in a most subtle way,
as being the recognition of matter's
predisposition in residing at
the baselevel (BALE) state. That
given
ultimate
predisposed existence
of matter (gupem) stands as
the foundational
pillar
of TRUTON.
Matter's
With
that foundational recognition of matter's primal
predisposition,
we now are ready to move on, from
Prena--the
precursor of Nature to the emergence of the
embryonal Nature (Embryna), on the
mamo
engine of TRUTON.
