Main Concepts
Matter: Interacting Particles.
Matter is defined in a practical way as anything that has
mass and charge and is occupying space. From a philosophical
point of view, matter is defined as a being. Let me say that
matter is any element that acts, that is, a being is anything
tangible that our senses perceive directly or indirectly. In
this book, or for the author, matter is a group of particles
that has mass and charge, has a place in space and can create
disruptive actions. Matter exists by itself.
Information: Trials To Matter.
Informational ability is a necessary condition for living beings;
without it, there are no living beings.
Information, from the practical point of view, is a collection
of facts or data that has meaning. From a philosophical point of
view, information is associated with the truth, referring to the
idea that there are principles that create an absolute truth and
that ultimately we can understand. For this book, information is
the result of the informational ability. Informational ability
is a process coming from the structure and functioning of living
matter, this process allows the creation of organisms.
Informational ability is a necessary condition for living
beings, without it, there are no living beings. Informational
ability is not a sufficient but a necessary condition for life.
Life: Matter With Informational Ability.
From the classical point of view “life is a property of
organic beings by which they grow, reproduce and respond to
stimuli” (Larousse, 2007). From a philosophical standpoint,
“life is force or substantial internal activity, with which the
being who possesses it works” (Lengua, 2009). For this book,
life is a whole system-process synthesis from
specific material structure disequilibrium, with which
informational ability emerges, creating an individual organism.
That is, a material
structure-disequilibrium that acquires the ability to
discriminate the actions received from an environment and
decides to act or not to act.
Beings - Objects - Elements
Let us define by the numbers –one, two and three– (1, 2 and 3)
three concepts: one being, two objects, and three elements.
Beings are made of matter. Objects are informational
representations of the beings. The elements can be defined as
one or the other, interchangeably –beings, objects or pure
abstractions. To help us, let’s see an example: one car being,
two car objects and three car elements. The car is the being.
The two cars are discriminated by two living beings (you reader
and me writer) creating objects and three elements, one car
being plus two car objects.
