The Primeval Ingredients of Nature:
Xenobase and Xenovoid
Nature,
as we recognize, has various hierarchical levels
of organization. We can talk for instance of the
atomic level of organization, of the molecular
level, of the macro level, of the galactic
level, and so on. We call them the hierarchical
Levels of Organization Of Nature (LOONs).
The bottom-line LOON, that is the starting-line
in TRUTON, is called the primeval or the
primary LOON and is unique in the sense
that is comprised of all default states
of Nature. A default state, called also
the primeval state or the zero
evolutionary state is the original state
that is derived when all the physical constrains
are lifted.
!
Our
given Common Sense is the only tool
available to us in identifying the
default states of Nature and thus in
identifying the primeval
LOON.
While
the "tool" in discovering the primary
LOON is our given Common Sense, with
that tool we cannot advance any
further. For discovering the results
for the follow-up hierarchical LOONs,
the "tool" that is required is not our
Common Sense but our Rational Thinking
that is based on our given rational
deductive reasoning.
Thus,
the "path" of discovering things in
TRUTON is identical to the "path"
followed by Mathematics. In
Mathematics, the counterpart of the
primary LOON is the body of its axioms
whose origin, as in TRUTON, cannot be
questioned as they are given entities.
The rest of all the results are
obtained in exclusivity using our given
rational deductive reasoning and
nothing else. And that is how we intend
to get all the results in TRUTON.
However,
a major difference with Mathematics, as
we already noted, is that in TRUTON the
primary propositions charactherizing
the primary LOON must conform with our
given Common Sense while in Mathematics
its primary propositions, called
axioms, need not. In
Mathematics, its primary propositions
must conform with only two basic
requirements:
a)
that they cannot be derived
from one to another or
anything else;
and
b)
that they cannot lead to
logical inconsistencies or
contradictions.
Thus, in TRUTON, its primary
propositions have the additional
requirement to Mathematics that they
must also conform with our given Common
Sense.
The
most difficult part in TRUTON is the
establishment of the primary LOON which, as
stated, unlike as in Mathematics, is being
provided by our given Common Sense. And that
Common Sense, for instance, tells us that any
material entity in Nature, if left
unconstrained, will return to its default
state. A material entity that is not
residing at its default state is said to be in a
compressed state. Because of that natural
tendency of material entities to return to their
default state, we can talk about the
"objective" of their existence
--that of returning to their default state of
existence. Therefore, through our Common Sense,
we can arrive, through these simple
considerations, at this monumental recognition
vested in
The
Second Fundamental Principle Of Nature
(2nd FUPON):
The DownLevel Objective of
Nature
All
physical parameters characterizing
matter have a natural "objective" for
their existence --that of returning to
their respective default values. We
call that underlying objective, the
DownLevel
objective
of Nature which represents
the primeval
foundational objective of
Nature.
Note:
We can talk about the DownLevel
tendency of a particular physical
parameter as being the tendency to
reach its default value. The "strength"
of that tendency is function of the
value of the particular physical
parameter involved:
the
greater (or more distant)
is that value from its
default value, the greater
the DownLevel tendency is
going to be.
.First
Fundamental Remark on the 2nd
FUPON:
The DownLevel
Law
(DLL)
expressing the DownLevel objective and
tendency represents the ultimate law
of Nature (ULON) and as such, all
physical laws of Nature are ultimately
derived from DLL.
In
a closed system defined as a
confined entity of fixed boundaries
through which nothing can enter or
escape, we get from the DownLevel
Law
The
Fundamental Corollary to the
2nd FUPON:
The Midleveling (MIDLE)
Principle
1st
Formulation:
In a closed system, a
non-homogeneous physical
parameter of the system will
have the natural tendency to
get homogenized within the
system at the lowest
attainable median level called
midstand
(or
levelstand).
That natural homogenization
tendency is called
the midleveling
(MIDLE)
principle
of Nature.
An
equivalent formulation of
the
midleveling (MIDLE) principle
can
be expressed as
follows:
2nd
Formulation: In
a closed system, an
unconstrained (or unlocked)
physical parameter of an
object that cannot reach its
defaault DownLevel state (due
to the system's overall
constrain) will have the
natural tendency to get
homogenized with the
corresponding parameter of the
system at the lowest
attainable median level called
midstand
(or
levelstand).
That natural homogenization
tendency of integration is
called
the midleveling
(MIDLE)
principle
of Nature.
Another
equivalent formulation of
the
midleveling (MIDLE) principle
can
be expressed as
follows:
3rd
Formulation: In
a closed system, the common
unlocked physical parameters
with different values of two
objects in contact will, in
the end, reach the same
identical values at a
corresponding median level
called
midstand
(or
levelstand).
That natural homogenization
tendency is called
the midleveling
(MIDLE)
principle
of Nature.
For
a crude visualization, two
bodies of different
temperatures that are in
contact, in a closed system,
will reach in the end the same
"midstand" or "levelstand"
temperature.
Second
Fundamental Remark: The
Spoilers or Fixons
In the formulation of the
MIDLE principle, objects were
considered to have their
physical parameters
unconstrained or unlocked.
However, we can have objects
in Nature whose physical
parameters are locked in the
sense that they cannot
increase or decrease their
values. We call such objects
as spoilers or
fixons. We can talk about
spoilers modulo a physical
property as being those
objects that have locked a
particular physical property.
For instance if the physical
property is the mass density,
then
spoilers
modulo
density
are those objects that cannot
be contracted or
stretched.
The
phenomenally
interesting
question that
arises is
how
the MIDLE
principle is being
enforced when
spoilers
and
non-spoilers
are in contact
within a closed
system? --a
question that,
from many yet to
mome, awaits
an answer...
With
this little introduction of what we can obtain
with our given Common Sense and getting a sense
of what is yet to come, let us now begin, in
earnest, with our unprecedented journey that we
have set to travel by "descending" to the
absolute lowest imaginable level of existence of
Nature and ask ourselves
this simple, but pivotal question:
In
physical terms, what is the absolute simplest
structure that a domain or volume can
have?
To
this, one may respond with the trivial answer
that the simplest structure is no structure at
all, i.e., that the domain be
unstructured.
A
vacuum-like entity to be defined as an entity
devoid of any structure
and
any material density is therefore the most
trivial candidate. We call that strange
continuum devoid of material density as
xenovoid (XV) noting that "xeno" in Greek
means "strange." The answer that emerges is
therefore as follows: "fill up" your domain with
that xenovoid, and you most certainly will have
the simplest physical structure that a
domain/volume can be endowed with. So far so
good.
But
now, let's say that someone else will intervene
in that discussion, stating that we may conceive
as an equally good answer to the posted
question by "filling up" the respective domain
not with that vacuum-like continuum but with a
continuum that has in fact a given finite
material density whose density can be increased
through compression. We call that unilateral
elastic continuum substance that can only be
compressed, but not decompressed, the
xenobase (XB).
Thus,
the most general answer that will emerge is that
any admixture of xenobase and xenovoid would
constitute the most general absolute simplest
physical structure that a physical domain
or a volume can have.
We
consider then that the xenobase and xenovoid are
the primary ingredients of
Nature (PINs) and their admixture
represents the primary admixture of Nature. By
being primary implies that they cannot be
reduced into anything else, created from
anything else, or being transformed one into
another. We express that important recognition
through
.
The
Third Fundamental Principle Of Nature
(3rd FUPON):
The
primary ingredients of Nature, xenobase
(XB) and xenovoid (XV), are irreducible
in the sense that there is no physical
process that can convert one into
another, reduce them into something
else, or generate them from
something else.
Remark:
Discovering
the nature
of the xenobase (XB) is by far the most
difficult and challenging undertaking
in TRUTON and, the truly "strange"
nature of XB will gradually emerge as
we advance with our unprecedented
journey that we have set to
travel.
The xenovoid (XV) introduced above is, of
course, the counterpart of the old and troubled
concept of vacuum (dubbed sometimes as the
"ideal" or "absolute" vacuum) that gradually
--due to the "modern" Physics, the Quantum
Physics-- has degenerated into something that
has very little resemblance with its original
conceptual meaning --that of being devoid of any
material physical "impurities."
The
properties that characterize the xenovoid
(XV) are encapsulated as follows:
1.
XV and only XV permeate the entire Nature
generating the fix/immobile, ultimate space
of Nature --the XV-space called, as
introduced, the HoloSpace
(HOS) extent. We call this property of XV
its absolute permeability (APER)
property.
Remarks:
.
i) XV coexist with XB in
one and the same volume. If a
XB-object is broken and its parts
separated, between those parts
always XV will exist.
.ii)
A XB-block moving in the XV-space
leaves "behind" XV.
2. XV by lacking density,
lacks the capacity of being "compressed" or
"decompressed." We call this the steady
state (STESTA) property of XV.
Remark:
When contracting or stretching a
volume of xenovoid (XV), we are
not compressing or decompressing
the XV of that volume as there is
no "wall" through which the
xenovoid cannot permeate
through.
Two and only two basic representations of the
primordial admixture of xenobase and xenovoid
are possible to exist as illustrated in Figs.
1A or 1B below.
The
two primeval admixtures of xenobase (XB)
and xenovoid (XV).

or

Here
we have a representation of "patches" of
xenobase (XB) immersed in xenovoid
(XV).
In
FIG. 1B, we have the reverse
representation: xenovoid "bubbles"
immersed into xenobase as in a
Swiss-cheese mass.

1A) and the right side "bubble" of
xenovoid (of FIG. 1B) have been
replaced respectively with the entire
corresponding system furnished in FIGs.
1B and 1A.
These
two basic representations can, in turn, be
combined further into an
indefinite number of ways as
illustrated in the above two (2) representations
of FIGs. 1AB and 1BA, respectively.
! PASS
WITH
CARE
.
We
emphasized the word "indefinite " from
the previous sentence since any time,
in a physical description of Nature, we
encounter the words "indefinite" or
"infinite" we shall be on alert as that
is an unmistakable indication that
something is wrong with the respective
representation in question as these two
words, "indefinite" and "infinite",
have no meaning within a description of
Nature, they only can have meaning
within the context of Mathematics.
Examples of such meaningless physical
descriptions are for instance, infinite
speed, infinite mass, infinite density,
infinite temperature, etc.
We
shall express that paramount
recognition into
.
.
The
Fourth Fundamental Principle
Of Nature (4th
FUPON):
In
Nature, no physical parameter
of characterization can grow
indefinitely and reach the
infinite value.
.Remark
1:The only infinite
parameter characterizing
Nature is its limitless,
infinite space extent made of
xenovoid (XV), i.e.,
the introduced
HoloSpace. .
Remark
2:Since physical parameters
are governed by physical laws,
we come to the recognition
of
The
Fundamental Corollary to the
4th FUPON:
The LIMIT
Principle
No
physical law can extend its
range of applicability over
Nature's entire arena of
existence.
.Remark:From the LIMIT principle
it follows that all physical
laws of Nature have an upper
and a lower limit of their
applicability. The ultimate
law of Nature --the
DownLevel
Law
(DLL) is no exception and its
range or limit of
applicability is identified
below.
With the warning received from the
4th
FUPON
that we cannot have an indefinite number of
representations for the primeval admixture of
Nature, it is clear that we need to proceed with
extreme caution.
Examining
again the Figs. 1A and 1B respectively for the
primary admixture of Nature, a number of
questions can be raised, the foremost perhaps
being whether or not those two representations
are truly independent one from another or
whether in fact one can be derived from another.
If
in fact the two representations (Fig. 1A and 1B)
are truly independent (i.e., that they
cannot be derived one from another), then we
will have the additional burden of choosing
which one must be the correct representation.
And that is because of the recognition vested
in
The
Fifth Fundamental Principle Of Nature
(5th FUPON):
All
formations of Nature are build out of
one single common primary
foundation.
(And
that is because without having a single
underlying denominator, no edifice in
Nature can be build without
collapsing.)
To determine whether or not there is a
transformation capable of transforming one
representation (or picture) of the primeval
admixture of Nature into another, we need to
recognize first that a transformation implies
the existence of some
motion
and that important recognition leads in
asking,
What
is the primeval or the default
motion in Nature?
That
inquiry is of extreme significance
since that primeval or primary motion
in Nature must be incorporated into the
primeval LOON. We can talk thus about
the primeval dynamics of Nature(PRIDON). As stated, at the
primeval LOON the only tool that we
have is our given Common
Sense.
Sir
Isaac Newton employing that very same tool was
able to identify the state of that default
motion that exists in Nature: it is the
state of rest OR in its generalized form
--the state of linear, straight line,
translatory motion of constant speed (that can
be reduced to the state of rest when the
constant speed is zero). He vested that
recognition in his monumental work
Principia under his First Axiom or First
Law of Motion (FLOM):
"Every
body continue in its state of rest,
or of uniform motion in a right
line, unless it is compelled to
change that state by forces
impressed upon it."
Now with the incorporation of the default motion
into the primeval LOON, a new vista has been
opened in front of us that is able us to see,
with relative ease, that for the start-up of
TRUTON, we need to select the representation
vested in Fig.
1A
representing the moving/gliding XB blocks
in the (limitless) xenovoid space.
.
FIG.
1A
.The
moving/gliding XB-blocks in
various directions in the (limitless)
xenovoid (XV) space --the
HoloSpaceis the primeval cosmological
start-up picture for TRUTON.
.That
primeval picture will further be
detailed as we advance with TRUTON.
Questions like from where those gliding
XB-blocks came from, or from where they
acquired their speeds and directions of
motion --all will receive, in due time,
their respective answers.
.
We
call, as noted, that bottom-line
dynamics of Nature --the primeval
dynamics of Nature (PRIDON), and
that bottom-line level of Nature --the
primeval level of organization of
Nature (LOON), in short the
primeval LOON.
NOTE:
This
start-up primeval picture of
Nature embraced by TRUTON
--the primeval LOON, is
markedly different than the
current nilly-willy BIG-BANG
cosmological concept which
represents indeed an absurdity
of truly cosmic
proprtion.
The aim of TRUTON is to build-up, from
the primeval LOON, the entire theory of
Nature in the context of building up
our existing Universe from the many
existing universes, as to be seen from
the theory to follow.
As
we shall see, the primeval
dynamics of Nature (PRIDON), is
part the grand perpetual cycle of
Nature (PECON) to be identified
in due course.
In
the 3rd
FUPON,
we recognized that the primeval
admixture of Nature is made of xenobase
(XB) and xenovoid (XV).
Since obviously XB and XV
can coexist side by side, it is clear
that if we want to advance further with
our TRUTON theory, we need to discover
the primary agent in Nature capable of
disturbing
that primeval equilibrium. We need that
disturbance
of the primeval equilibrium to take
place because of the fundamental
recognition marked in
.
The
Sixth Fundamental Principle Of Nature
(6th FUPON):
In
Nature, evolution can occur only when
stability is being
disturbed.
Fundamental
Remark: The absolute stability in Nature is
provided by the default state called
also the inert state. The
natural process through which the
default state is being opposed is
called natural evolution (NEVO).
The natural tendency and the objective
of NEVO, called the UpLevel (UP)
tendency and objective of Nature, is
that of pushing "up" and staying
"above" as far away as possible from
Nature's "ground zero" state vested in
its inert state called also the
DownLevel
state. Thus, the UpLevel tendency
is the antagonistic of DownLevel
tendency. The further away something is
from the DownLevel
"line," the further away that something
is in the evolutionary ladder of
Nature (EVOLON).
Finding the Nature's primeval
natural process of evolution
capable of generating the UP
hierarchical levels of Nature is
essential and key for the advancement
of TRUTON as without such a key, we
cannot advance further up from the
"ground zero" level of
Nature.
That
key, so to speak, must be right under
our nose as we are at the primeval
ground of Nature. So, let then comb
that primeval ground of Nature that our
Mind was able to establish in search
for that master key of
Nature.
The
primeval natural disturbance that will generate
the primeval natural process of evolution must
spring from the primeval default motion in
Nature identified by Sir Isaac Newton: the
translatory, linear motion of constant speed
(that can be reduced to the state of rest when
the constant speed is zero).
As
a result of those random primeval translatory
motions, collisions
between various XB-blocks will inevitably occur
in the limitless xenovoid (XV) space. Those
random collisions clearly will
disturb
the
"tranquility"
of the dynamics of the gliding XB-blocks
and that, in turn, by the 6th FUPON,
will trigger evolution --the track that we need
to follow. So we found that the key for
disturbing the "tranquility" is the
collision!So
here we are with this monumental recognition
that is cemented into
.
The
Seventh Fundamental Principle Of Nature
(7th FUPON):
In
Nature, the primeval agent, generator,
or creator of evolution is the
Collision.
.Remark
1:
For those seeking comfort in the
existence of a
"Creator
of the Universe" (embodied in the
elusive and omnipresent
God)
and interested in deciphering the
Creator's
"modus
operandi,"
then in TRUTON, the Collision plays
that role.
In
TRUTON, all "tools" of creation are
derived from
Collision.
The creation of our Universe in
Nature, from the existing universes of
Nature is, as we shall see, a direct
product of Collision. The evolution and
the formation of
new
qualitatively
objects in Nature cannot exist without
Collision.
The
Collision therefore must
generate all the
UpLevel
(UP) states called also the
evolutionary
states of Nature
(EVOSON).
.Remark
2:Collision can generate
mass-compression of the
colliding objects and that, in
turn, will generate
compressed density
states that represent the
primeval evolutionary states
of matter.
Upon collision, XB-blocks will transform into
compressed xenobase (cXB) blocks that
will form qualitatively
different states of existence of the material
substance of Nature --the xenosubstance (XS).
Those qualitatively different states differ
from one another through one, and only one,
parameter --their density. That the
continuousvariation
--in one constant direction-- of one single
physical parameter can generate different
qualitative states of existence of matter is, in
itself, most remarkable and, it is being
recognized in this generalized statement
forming
.
The
Eight Fundamental Principle Of Nature
(8th FUPON):
In
Nature, a physical parameter of
continuous increment will generate
qualitative "leaps" whereby a new
qualitatively entity is being
born.
.Remark
1:.In
Evolutionary Biology, this principle
represents its pillar in
understanding the evolution and
formation of a new species where the
gradal cumulative trait in one
single direction will lead into the
"popping-up" of a new species. The
evolutionary "leaps" are therefore a
straightforward consequence of this
principle and it represents the
cornerstone of understanding how new
species are being formed: not
through a linear continuous
transformation, but through
evolutionary "jumps" or "leaps" or
"saltations" as recognized first in
1972 by the American paleontologists
Niles Eldredge and Stephen Jay Gould
of Harvard University.
.Remark
2: The first recognition that in
general "quantitative change leads
to qualitative change" was done by
the great German idealist
philosopher Georg Wilhelm Friedrich
Hegel who in 1874 published the
Encyclopaedia of the
Philosophical Sciences where in
its section "The Logic," he gave
this beautiful example with respect
to the consequences of the variation
of temperature for water:
"...
the temperature of water
is, in the first place,
a point of no
consequence in respect
of its liquidity: still
with the increase or
diminution of the
temperature of the
liquid water, there
comes a point where this
state of cohesion
suffers a qualitative
change, and the water is
converted into steam or
ice."
However,
Hegel considered all that
recognition as being a Law
of Logic or Thought rather
than a Law of Nature. It
was the philosophy of Karl
Marx and Friedrich Engels
that reversed completely
that dialectics created by
Hegel and transformed it
into a materialistic
dialectics where Hegel's
laws became laws of Nature
rather than laws of
Thought. Indeed, Karl Marx
in his Das Kapital,
vol.1 noted that Hegel's
idealism
"is
nothing else than the
material world reflected
by the human mind, and
translated into forms of
thought."
turning
thus Hegel's dialectics
"upside down."
The
first compressed xenobase (cXB) state to be
identified is the called xenofluid (XF)
that in turn will generate (through
additional compression) another state of matter
called xenorigid (XR) --a state where the
elasticity property no longer exists. These
three states --the xenobase (XB), the xenofluid
(XF), and the xenorigid (XR)-- to be studied in
more details later, are said to form the three
states of existence of the xenosubstance
(XS) with the XB-state representing its
default state. In TRUTON therefore,
xenosubstance and matter have one and the same
meaning being one and the same entities.
.
Finally,
let us note that the xenosubstance (XS)
is intertwined with the existence of
the ultimate law of Nature --the
DownLevel
Law (DLL) in a most profound
way:
Since
all matter of Nature is made of
xenosubstance, it follows that DLL
cannot exist at or outside of the
upper and lower
density
limits
of existence of xenosubstance,
i.e., DLL cannot exist at or
below the density level of xenobase
(XB) --at one end; nor it can exist
at or above the density level of
xenorigid (XR) --at the other end.
Those density levels, called
xenoLevels (xeLs), to be
re-introduced and defined in the
next section, are defining the
limits of applicability of
DLL.
Let
us note that the three states of existence of XS
(xenobase-xenofluid-xenorigid) are function of
one and only one physical parameter --the
density. And that simple recognition brings us
to
The
Ninth Fundamental Principle Of Nature
(9th FUPON):
The
material density, by being the sole
physical parameter of Nature available
at its primeval state of existence,
stands therefore at the foundation of
all other physical parameters in Nature
(such as temperature, gravity, etc.)
whose existence are derived from the
density concept. In this respect
therefore, the material density
represents the ultimate
primeval
foundational physical parameter of
Nature
from where all other physical
parameters are derived
from.
Remark:
Various densities in the primeval
LOON are generated, as expected, by the
master agent of creation --the
Collision as recognized in the
7th
FUPON.
With the recognition provided
in the 9th FUPON of the unique foundational role
of density in the primeval LOON, it follows that
there, in the primeval LOON, the
DownLevel
Law
becomes a law of natural behavior for the
xenofluid (XF) as follows:
Xenofluid,
if left unconstrained, has the
natural tendency to return to its
default state --the xenobase state.
We call that natural tendency of the
xenofluid its
renormalization
(RENO)
property.
The
density of the xenosubstance,
alone, cannot reveal its nature so a
missing primary ingredient must exist within the
xenosubstance itself. And that missing
ingredient of the xenosubstance is being
discovered in the next section with the
introduction of another fundamental primeval
concept of Nature --the energy
concept.
