The hierarchy of the nature objects
-
With the creation of the 4D model of the aether [1],
it became possible to settle some order among
the nature objects. Certainly, there is not any confidence in the
existence of that order really in nature because the nature itself is
in some disordered state and is cognizable up to some limit which can be
accessed by the human now. Nevertheless, from the point of view of the
ontology it is quite interesting task to try to establish any order and
even its partial decision might be useful in the future due to the
principles of the building of this order which satisfy some reasonable
criterions.
- At the first place the completeness may be set as the criterion. It
means here that in the frame of our conceptions there is no any objects
beyond the scheme of the ordering proposed. By the other words, all
must contain in the scheme. Any object must have its place in the scheme.
A clause is to make here. There are anything as the object in the
arbitrary scheme. The belonging to the proposed model will be the
restriction hereafter. Until all properties of the model are discovered
the scheme, of cause, can not be complete. But the aim of the paper is
the description of the model and its properties in essence although one
can't exclude a possible methodical value of the similar scheme for
some different tasks beyond the aether model.
-
The other criterion may be the equivalency of the objects from the same
group. It would be difficult to settle relations between objects of
different ranks even under satisfaction of the first criterion. Such
relations may evolve, for example, when one object compose from the
other.
One comment about the terms. It stands not the object itself for the
object in the scheme, but surely the notion about the object, his
representation. The scheme is abstract object existing only in a head,
could being displayed on the paper etc. The other names for it are
system, classification, hierarchy or even world view.
In the paper it is undertaken an endeavor to use a dichotomy splitting
of notions as such criterion. The parent notion in it divides in two
child notions with equal capacity. The first criterion will be satisfied
too. The completeness will be ensured if to take the most general object
of the nature as an initial one. Here it is the model itself or, more
correctly, what it is to represent.
Thus the scheme of the objects of the nature ordering is the binary tree
having strict hierarchical building and allowing to establish the
classification of representation of these objects.
-
For the beginning it is need to designate an initial object at the
very lower level, at the root of the tree. It may be called the Essence.
Hereafter the objects of the hierarchy will be denoted from the capital
letter. The determination of the Essence is very simple. It is what is
exist in the frame of the model proposed. There is nothing exist except
the Essence. That definition fulfils the demand of the first criterion
by itself.
Some notice needs here. As the model is pretended to the role of the
physical description of all essence, it is stay aside the mathematical,
logical, semantic, grammatical and other notions being nonphysical in
their base. These notions may be used for the identification the nature
of the model objects. Therefore, for example, on the question like
"Where is the Essence?" one may give the following answer referring to
the mathematics: "The Essence is in the space".
It is supposed here that the space is the notion aside the scheme frames
and it doesn't need to be defined. What the space is used? It is that
what is convenient to describe the objects considered, namely
four-dimensional Euclidian one. The spaces with fewer dimensions are
appeared to be not sufficient for the description of the all Essence.
To use five and more dimensions don't make any sense until the
possibilities of the four-dimensional space are not exhausted. The
euclidiancy of the space was choosing for simplicity. Of cause, from the
point of view of mathematics there are infinite number of such spaces
with such properties. It is supposed here that the Essence which we all
are belong to is exactly in "our" space and it is impossible for us to
know something about other such spaces even if any of them really exist.
And we can judge about "our" four-dimensional space only indirectly
by the results of the coincidence of the physical experiments and the
model.
Thus the Essence is something single existing in 4D-space with Euclidian
metrics. Further one need to specify this notion, i.e. to get up on the
nest level in the hierarchy.
-
New additional criterion is necessary to divide the notion of the
Essence into two new composing notions. One may simply divide the Essence
asunder and fulfill two first criterions, but it does not create any new
thing. Therefore the criterion to produce really new notions is needed.
It may be such one that indicates on the mode of existence of the Essence.
It is the ability to move. As a matter of fact, the static case is not
interesting and the ability mentioned above is introduced by the notion
of time. The time is thought to be the notion outside the scheme. It is
a parameter to describe the movement. The immediate question arisen is:
The movement of what? Without fail it can not be the movement of the
Essence because the latter exists in some material form. Therefore one
may put down the following formula exposing the sense above-mentioned:
|
Essence = Matter (Movement)
|
The subordination in the form of function dependency is stressed here.
There is no any Movement without Matter. The Movement is an attribute of
the Matter. The Essence exists in the form of the Matter but the latter
is only the part of the former because there is the Movement of the
Matter. Therefore the Movement is non-separable part of the Essence as
well but it is its ideal part.
At this point one may notice the similarity of the proposed
classification with that appeared in the ancient China. The
representation of Te in the form of Yang and Yin and the learning about
Tao given in Tao Te Ching is keeping in mind here, of cause, throwing
into the discard the mythological rubbish.
It is possible the alternate wording formally:
|
Essence = Movement (Matter).
|
It is idealistic point of view and it don't consider here.
-
There is need again the division criterion to arise at the next level.
So one may ask oneself: Does the Matter fill all the space? If the
answer is no, then the next questions about the spreading of the Matter
in the space, about its density, what it is about at all and so on.
There are many qualifications - up to infinity. Therefore it is need to
answer by order. The case of the infinite Matter filling all the space
is less interesting and it may be threw away or considered as an
approximation and an abstraction. Then it is ought to confess that the
Matter is situated compactly, i.e. it takes some area of the space. The
area has a border that is three-dimensional surface, or hypersurface. So
one may speak about the interior part of the Matter and about the
exterior part situated on the border. Then the belonging to the border
may serve as the division criterion because the border plays a
significant role in the object hierarchy although it can not exist
without the neighboring object. So the Matter might be displayed as
where the content of the region occupied by Matter is named by the
Aether and the border of the region is called the World. The sense of
these naming which are conditional will be cleared in the following. It
is supposed that the Aether is something like an ideal fluid and its
border, a three-dimensional surface, can conduct the electro-magnetic
waves, i.e. it is luminousferrous. Only this border is given us in
perceptions and that is why it seems to us that we are in the
three-dimensional space. The World is ought to be emphasized to be the
Aether as well, but only its tiny part which is "on the view".
Under that mode of division as above the doubt about fulfillment of the
second criterion may arise. Are the Aether and the World equal in their
significance? The reference on the unity of the content and the form
may use here. They are not to be opposed. They are in the oneness and
they are important in the equal power.
Also it is necessity to clear up the meaning of the addition sign in
the above statement. It is not the arithmetical addition, of cause, but
symbolic one, where the order of the addends has a sense.
-
One may imagine the Movement in a similar way, in accordance with the
belonging to the border. It splits into two movements, of the Aether and
of the World. The first one is the characteristic of the inner changes
of the Matter and is the source of the electromagnetism. The second one
produces various reconstructions of the border, or, by other words, the
outside changes of the Matter. Hence the following representation is
arose
|
Movement = Field + Change.
|
The term of Change is chosen because the reconstruction of the border is
supposed to go with the movement of the visible objects (in a broad
meaning of the word, not only by eyes, but by various optical and
similar devices).
It must be noted here that the Field is a more general characteristic
then the Change and the World is a partial, marginal case of the Aether.
Therefore the World may be represented as an attribute of the Aether and
the Change as of the Field. As it will be shown below, the Change is
originated due to the movement of the Aether, i.e. due to the Field. The
World is known to be changeable, but it changes by the motion of the
Aether.
-
The third level can get with a help of various methods depended on the
division criterion. However, the criterion must inherit the properties
of all previous criterions to be reconcilable with them. This may gain
if to consider the second level objects in the form of the whole-single
relation.
Really, it was shown [2] that the Aether may occupy not only one region
of the space but a few, perhaps infinite, number of such regions. Thus
the need occurs to denote these regions somehow. They may be called by
Universe, because all objects in every region can move only in the range
of its region, its Universe. From the other hand, the Aether being a
material object itself consists from the some material particles which
forms the 4D media. They may be get conventionally name of Aperions to
distinguish they from fundamental particles. Thus
|
Aether = Apeiron + Universe.
|
Here the Apeiron is higher notion then th Universe. No Universe without
Apeirons, but there may exist single Apeiron which might be called the
smallest Universe. Therefore, the Aether is the Universes filled with
Apeirons, or better to say, it is the Apeirons which united may create
the Universes.
-
As for the World, there need to use the same criterion as for the
Aether. Here the parts of the World are "visible" perturbations of the
Aether being existed on the hypersurface of the Universe. The
fundamental particles, resonances and waves may be referred to them. They
distinguish from each other by various parameters, the time-life
numbered with it. They are named the Particles. Separate particles
forms atoms, molecules, materials and so on. We give the name of
the Material to all such "visible in principle" objects. As a result we
come to the statement
|
World = Particle + Material.
|
As above the Particles take higher position comparing with the Material
in the hierarchy of the essences.
-
At that level the Movement of the Aether, or the Field, is to apply to
the Aether constituents, to the Apeiron and to the Universe. Because the
first of them is accessible only indirectly, it is agreeable to name it
such enigmatic word like apeiron. We name it the Entelechia. It is a
long time when the Movement of the Universe called the Evolution. The
same term can be used here understanding the difference in the genesis
of these objects. So
|
Field = Entelechia + Evolution.
|
One may say that the Entelechia is a cause of the Evolution.
-
The Movement of the World, or the Change, is the visible movement. So
the movement of the Particle, though not always observable by simple
methods, may consider as "visible in principle". In difference with the
Entelechia it can be fixed in the form of tracks in the bubble chamber,
as for expample. That Movement left the trace. The trace is from the
objects of the World but of greater scale then the Particles itself.
They can be studied by microscope or, by other words, fixed ideally.
They may be referred to the Material class. I.e. the difference in the
Movement of the Particle and of the Material is in their scales. The
former is the microscopic change, the latter is the macroscopic one.
|
Change = Action + Replacement
|
The Action is more significant notion then the Replacement, for it is
the Action as a Movement of the Particles cause the Replacement of the
Material. But at the end the Field as the Movement of the Aether is
responsible for all the forms of the Movement. It is shown with a help
the following statement
|
Essence = Matter (Movement) =
Aether (Field) + World (Change) =
Apeiron (Entelechia) + Universe (Evolution) +
Particle (Action) + Material (Replacement) = ...
|
-
It is obvious that the scheme suggested may be continued. Beginning from
some level the Self-organization, the Atom, the Ecosystem, the Life, the
Human, the Self-conscience, the Science, the Progress and so on will
appear. The number of such notions grows on 2n at the
elevation on the n level and tend to infinity. But the aim of the
science is exactly the achievement of the infinity. The proposed scheme
is supposed to be useful in this endless and beneficial process.
