The Informational Representation of Reality
Adapted from Theosophist, Scientific and Moral Traits for the XXI Century
By Vinicius de Oliveira Botelho

A. Abstract

In order to converge informational theory and the cognition of all imaginable realities to study all possibilities of existence, this model of reality interpretation was developed (Universal logic system: ULS). Therefore, it aspires to make possible the representation of every sort of dogma and its consequences (that are true for the system in the ULS, but not for the other systems also in the ULS possible). At the same time, a new definition of life, evolution, intelligence, and thinking was built, more based on the kind of information that they work with than on any other abstract idea.

B. The work
1- The equation of evolution
Information can be of three different kinds: Observational or scientific (based on induction), dogmatic (set on a presupposition that does not depend of any context), or rational (based on the deduction about the results of the interactions amid the characteristics of the dogmas in which this kind of information are grounded). But, in spite of being all of them substantially relational, they have certainly different properties. If on one hand we have that the observational knowledge can not be studied, because it is an association of different and changeable metaphysics that one is not able to understand because of reality’s entropy; on the other, the dogmatic and rational ones are only tools, which does not necessarily exist (and so do not need to be anywhere), that we created to explain the concrete reality, insomuch as, covering all possibilities of existence, we can have the confirmation that in some place inside all the metaphysics that are fact, there is the set that explains how is reality working now (seeing the way reality works changes every moment). Furthermore, it is true that the dogmatic knowledge is only composed by a clause with a subject and its predicate, and does not depend on anything to be considered valid, except of itself (which guarantees our liberty of thinking, considered that the definitions of the language used to express the dogma must be supported on dichotomy deduction and not on induction, being able to cover, if in this way, whatever we may or not be induced to think by concrete reality), and also it is true that reason is the study about the interactions of the characteristics of these essences called dogmas (which support every kind of knowledge), and ergo, it is what determines the metaphysics existence.
At this extent, material (or concrete) reality is the conglomerate of different reasons determined by different dogmas that interact with each others, and so, there is no absolute true or law that determine the essences work. The illusion that Physics is something universal derives from a similar origin that produced everything with alike characteristics, creating., on what I call “supereminence of essences”, a state on which everything has a metaphysic that is the last one to be affected by any destabilization. Furthermore, to change this metaphysics that determine what we call Physics, one must find in them a chaotic space that possibilities they to create an essence that is able to disorganize all the others. For instance, comparing this with the French Revolution of 1789: What determined the revolution was the possibility that the characteristics of the former government created of developing other forces inside it. So, these forces were created, and then substituted the ancient domination, having disestablished it and then established themselves as the supreme power. The same is with the Physics laws. The possibility of creation of something that may substitute the essences of nowadays is the guarantee one needs to aver that there is nothing universal, considered that the only possibility for this to happen is the existence of an essence that does not permit its destruction by anything that it possibilities the creation.
Similarly, it is widely known that time is the measure of change, as so as evolution. Hence, saw that everything can be represented metaphysically by information, time and evolution are changes of evolution, or, more precisely, its integrals. Whence, we call evolution the sum of observational, rational, and dogmatic acquaintance, intelligence the derivative (of the function of information on time) of evolution, and thinking the sum of the derivative of the functions of rational and dogmatic information on time, inasmuch as thinking is interpreting reality and intelligence is the ability to gain information. The intelligence produced by our speculation is endomorphic. Considered this, being life the property conferred to producing answers to chaos and interact with other metaphysics, life is the same as change information, and ergo, life determines time and evolution.

2- Redefinitions:
a. Concrete reality: Every set of two or more existential systems that interact with each other that is able to produce the consequences needed by reality’s self-determination (or, in other words, able to produce answers even for the interactions that have not any answer foreseeable). As seen, the concrete reality is endomorphic, determining inside itself which metaphysic will be made alive at each irreducible time (that one determined by the velocity of light and the Planck’s distance).
b. Metaphysic or Existential System: Every set of consequences of any presuppositions considered.
c. Differentiated Existential Universe (DEX): A metaphysic that has only one dogma.
d. Differentiated Existential Complex (DEC): A metaphysic that has more than one dogma.
e. Coherence: Capacity of being adapted.
f. Language: A metaphysic that is able to create others. (Therefore, every dogma that is established is in the context of the metaphysic of the language in which it is created.)
g. Evolution: The sum of the rational, scientific and dogmatic knowledge (E = S + R + D).
h. Intelligence: The derivative of the function f(time)=evolution (E’ = I = S’ + R’ + D’).
i. Thinking: The derivative of the function f(metaphysic evolution)=rational and dogmatic knowledge (T = R’ + D’). This determines the endomorphism of the considered system.
j. Life: The capacity of interaction with other systems.

In other words:
a. Time = Evolution = Cumulative information’s change
b. Life = Intelligence: Velocity of information’s change
c. Thinking: Velocity of information’s endomorphism

Observation on the difference amid a DEC and a concrete reality:
In the DEC, whereas there is no interaction, there is no war of essences, and so the possibility of a system on acquiring a new dogma is limited to the fact that the incorporated presuppositions must not determine anything differently of that which was previously determined. On the other hand, at the concrete reality occurs exactly the opposite, forasmuch as it must arise a contradiction to happen a war of essences, which characterizes existence of both essences that fight.
Observation on the difference amid an individual and a society
On the contrary with what occurs on a society, the individual can not have an evolution regress, because its evolution is the integral of the intelligence of this individual, but on a society the evolution is the integral of the sum of the intelligences of all individuals that are on it; therefore, when one individual removed from this society, its evolution regresses. So, in the former intelligence determines evolution, but on the last the intelligences determine the society’s evolution, that determine the society’s intelligence.

3- The Universal Logic System (ULS):
The ULS is the representation of the information’s division above established. Therefore, it is composed by three axis, in which (x, y, z)=(evolution, time, presupposition). At this extent, evolution is the rational development of the characteristics of the metaphysic considered, time, here, is the evolution of the concrete reality being studied (that contains the information that the existent systems acquire by an isomorphic relation), and presupposition is the basis of all the information organized in the created metaphysic. Consequently, the creation of systems implies, necessarily, that there are no contradictions amid its dogmas, because, if not, will occur a disequilibrium, and, or only one of the essences will prevail, or they will exist in different places, or they will exist in different times, insomuch as that the characteristics of them, being actual, can not be contradicted, unless there is a war of essences that determine the results of the established contradiction. Further, information goes from the concrete reality up to any metaphysics that exist by an isomorphic relation; the self-incoherent systems must have a dogma that makes this incoherence coherent (for instance: if A is not B, and A is B, wherefore, A may or not be B, depending on some circumstance – that can be, for example, the volition of the owner of the mind considered - which is the irreducibility of the two dogmas previously created, and ergo its chaotic irreducibility, that, by not determining the real characteristics of B, creates the possibility of everything to be created, making possible the former thinking; another point also important is the consideration that the essences that determine the human being have as more important the fact that we act due to emotion than to reason, being the former the most important essence, and so, all considerations about human behavior must start with a “considered that this person’s emotions permit…”, which corresponds to the dogma that regulates human behavior).

[See the picture at http://vinicius.o.botelho.vila.bol.com.br/ because I could not post it here]

Observation about the picture: The profundity line of the concrete reality’s bisects the angle between time and evolution.

4- The supereminence of essences:

This theory, which is able even to legitimate science under the philosophic view of reality, shows the relativism that governs concrete reality. Nothing is absolute, but there are some essences that require a so specific and hard work to be changed that seem to be universal. For instance, a common origin and characterization (under the view of concrete reality) for matter may have resulted on the Physics or Biology laws that are seen as undoubtedly true. The conditions for change are simple: The current determined metaphysic must have a chaotic space in which another, maintained by the former, may be able to be manifested. Then, if this last, provided that both altogether create a paradoxical system into concrete reality, the chaotic present metaphysic and the help or hinder that the context provides will determine the winner of this war of essences. As an instance, it is possible to quote that example of the French Revolution of 1789. This also possibilities the firm that even the most obvious and logical physical interactions may change.

5- A new hypothesis for the origin of concrete reality:

Chaos is the representation of liberty, because it is the result of the inexistence of essences that implies the inexistence of laws that create anything. As a result, an absolutely chaotic reality, before the Big Bang if preferred, has a tend to create something to determine itself. Therefore, the inexistence of everything, due to its liberty, made things able to create something, and so nothing reacted with nothing and generated everything (God could be an endomorphism of all this information).
