<•> Issues about the limits and unity of the universe, in brevity. Some extracts from the philosophical book


ISBN960-385-019-5 in stab~ Many years ago: Do you said that don't exist eternal truths for the nature? The first universal relations constitute world axioms, certain clauses with mathematic consequence, that predetermine the undeniably foundations not only of cosmology* but for each science. Universal limits and traits for all things exist and if we ignore them, then our knowledge for different things reveals these things more different and with possibilities that don't have. If we know the common traits of things and their physical laws, thus disappear cer­tain foolish queries, even some theories that have bet in the precision of certain mathematic calculations. Certain of these (rational) relations have afterwards extracted and enumerated with a priori­ty (without care here, in order to they are corrected or supplemented and without comments).

 

" Every part of the Universe isn't the total from the all moments (of time) and with this definition, the part exists always (perforce) at a partial moment and not at an other (moment of time) " .1

" The things are direct parts of the same reality and constitute a common Total " .2

" Things have relations each one with other, that is to say they interact and are influenced between them " .3

" Things interact immediately and indirectly, at different and at the same moments, in a lot of different ways " .4

" Causes and results are themselves the things and their behavior. (...) 5 Every part of reality is a cause which is not common for all results and simultaneously it is a result, which is not common for the all causes and interacts with rest parts " .6

" The relation or connection of the part with the total reality is not only indirect and external " .7

" Every part of reality always differs immediately from its totality… " .8

" Two things without anything common (element) in their quality or in their relations with the other things, would be utterly different, utterly irrelevant and without any possibility for direct or indirect influence " .9

" When we say that the things are dependent between them, we mean, that they are influenced permanently regarding what they are, how they are constituted, from which things they originate and the ways, in which they are the rest of the things or some other of them " .10

" Where an interaction exists, there the common traits of the cause and result always exist " .11

" The results of a cause are not the results of another cause and we find some causes, which are irrelevant to certain results or they have a faraway indirect relation, which they could not have. As we say, a lot of causality chains exist combined " .12

" The same cause on different things cannot have precisely the same consequences, while different or opposite effects can be determined in direct
or indirect relation with some other causes. The same cause can determine a different result and the same result can be determined by a different cause… " .13

" In reality, every part influences and modifies the other parts, however not everything (all parts), at the same moment " .14

" The influences are continued with some ways that are not stably determined (immutably) causing changes in the quality, activity and interaction of the intermediate things and thus results exist, which are not regularly determined by one and the same cause. In other words, results are materialized or exist, for which certain of the causes have ceased to exist or to determine them and reversely: There are causes that don't constitute the alone or first beginning for the existence of certain results and however, these contribute or are useful for the existence of these results, even when these causes are not exist" .15

"The so-called indeterminism or luck is in reality the unstable determination, (a changing determination), which is explained by the indirect (and relative) contribution that the connected parts of reality have with each other " .16

" Nothing, which isn't the sufficient cause of itself, can be the alone cause for the existence or quality of another (...) However, it can't be no cause or not produce a result… " .17

" The alone (or sufficient) cause (...) which does not have another cause except of itself, is the perfect total of them (consequently, it is also these things together) contrary to the partly causes ".18

" The same things are certain causes of themselves, because their existence is a part of one and same self-determined quality and not only an external part and for this reason, they are specified not only indirectly - externally. Their sufficient cause is not an external fundamental cause nor an external final cause, it is their direct total, in which things are immediately parts (without any mediation)" .19

" So that interaction can exist (or difference in time), things must exist, which aren't the sufficient cause of themselves " .20

" Everything can be considered to be a partial effect -externally to other
things and independently of the moment at which it exists- for the realization of which the rest of the things have indirectly (without a beginning) contributed as certain causes " .21

" Independently of the moment in which everything begins to exist, it has been influenced more indirectly by every other thing and  has influence indirectly every other thing " .22

" All things constitute a constant Total inside in limits of a (total) time, they aren't numberless, they do not interact with unlimited ways and the most indirect way with which everything influences one another isn't infinite " .23

" The most indirect ways of interaction are these, which have always been realized (without a beginning). (...) Which are these more indirect results, which are always specified in the quality of everything? As it will be proved, these common elements are the common ways of interaction, which are named "matter" " .24

" The results from the most indirect interaction of things are the things by less interactions (...) 25 They constitute stabilized ways of influence, that we name matter. (...) 26

" The material elements are the stabilized ways with which the Universe has always been realized at its minimal moment and these elements constitute the simplest qualities (of things) in an abstract reality " .27

" The most indirect way, via which a thing influences every other thing after a time interval and through all the other parts, must be common and constantly the same way, and another more indirect way must never exist" .28

" The reality in its entirety of Time is finished (before the relative moment at which its parts are exist as external) and for this reason, it is not only the things of the previous moments which influence the things at the next moments, but also reversely… " .29

" The substance is the fixed and uncreated beginning of relative things and this does not mean, that the substance is what remains from the abstraction of every change and action. From such a substance the quality and complexness would be absent. Not only relations, changes, possibilities can't exist without the substance, but also the substance cannot exist as the first - common source without these last ones " .30

" The material elements are ways, via which the Universal Quality begins relatively indirectly to become at its minimal moment " .31

" The carriers of indirect interaction and for configuration of things, the so-called "matter", are the things with the fewest ways of interaction at the same time. They are a relative lack of quality and reality into the totality of reality and they cannot interact with many different things at the same time (or in many ways at the same time)”32

1 "If the reality were not finished (in all possible ways) or at earlier moments - before the moment at which it is still realized with respect to us - then there would be no free space”33

"The effect of the free space on the quality of things happens in shorter time than minimum, ie directly and simultaneously on all structural carriers (of matter)”34

"every beginning into the free space is realized relatively retrospectively by the carriers of indirect interaction and the beginning of the existence of these carriers lies outside space, that is, it is direct and occurs in distance less than the minimum, by the universe of other sub-moments, which does not rela­tively exist”35

"Different complex qualities cannot be explained by just a few common and external substances for the same reason that the existence of differences in the original common (and simple) substances could not be explained."36

" The part as theoretical and abstract is always the same, it is always a part, but its ceaseless change means that it is not precisely this same and without quality. The concept of change and time presuppose, that this part is changing partly and isn't only one or simple " .37

" The things exist as limited and exist in such a way that they exist in reference to others. They exist via the mediatory existence of many other things and their connection in a environment, necessarily according to the physical laws. In this sense the phrase "in­direct existence of things" was used. Their indirect and separate existence presup­poses a lack of directness, time and substance. (...) All things are directly the same common substance and through this they are connected immediately, simultaneously (...) If the totality of things weren't a direct cause of itself and didn't exist with a stabilized quality (like a total Time), then the so-called things would not constitute some ways of a common sub­stance (...) and they neither could exist with a relatively constant and unified quality nor could they have some common traits " .38*

* In this passage (38) a few lines were added to the top, because it would not be at all understood. All things exist separately and have limits in nature. The limits, the particularity, the intercessional parts, the divisibility, the multiplicity, all these terms denote declinations of a phenomenon, that is described more easily and briefly by the usual notion of "external things". Every trait exists together with the other and if one removed, no other trait remains.

 

The most abstract concepts (compare to Aristotle's categories), such as the concepts of part, total and relation are expressed with some vagueness (however not ambiguously) in the fundamental thoughts that are enumerated in a selected sequence (thread). The description of the cosmos as a totality and as a part imposes the concept of the "relation" and "quantity". The union of the concept “totality” with the concept of “time” imposes the concept of "change" and "dynamic relation" between the parts. Then the relations of resemblance, identity and the difference between the part and the total ensue. These first relations have a mathematical perspective, as there are the relations of the unit with itself and the division of the unit or its multiplication in mathematics, which imply the concept of quantity and proportionality. Vagueness is exchanged for generalization. However, vagueness does not invalidate the multilateral meaning of the universal concepts, which undeniably refer to an unspecified multitude of things and phenomena and not to our fantasies. In those years, in order to obviate the rejection of some people who think that they have enough experience and all the criteria to appreciate the reliability in advance without having to listen or read, the following footnote existed with the first general thoughts: " The ab­stract concepts of “thing” and “part”, are used here with the unspecified range of an unknown x, which corresponds to a limit of possible solutions, of which a big number is considered known and real. The limits of their meaning (of thing and part) will be clarified by the development of the reasoning and the rational interconnection of their meaning". The description of the structure of the cosmos and of the things as a whole needed a formulation according to universal relations. The weakness of the abstract concepts was only quantitative.

 


1  An incredible conclusion in excerpt 33. The physical space is explained as a natural phenomenon by the presence of the full universe (at the same time in all possible ways)! Everyone would draw the opposite conclusion according to the common experience. The objection would be as follows: If the universe is complete and at the same time in all possible ways, then no free space would have been. The universe would then be a compact and continuous body. But this conclusion from the common experience would cancel the original assumption that the universe is in all possible ways, that is, complete, stabilized and simultaneously towards itself. But a vast cosmological theory was developed with this assumption and the existence of free space was explained as a common and natural phenomenon. Many natural phenomena have been rationally explained by this assumption of a complete, simultaneous and stabilized universe, and the dynamic connection of the space as a shared quantity with the building blocks as its fluctuations were sought.
