I need attempt to bring people along with me, in an abstract line of reasoning which explains universal complexities, as well as a great many other things. It needs to be reasonable and rational, and also fit with an extraordinary number of observations we have made of this world. For which a mere resemblance would not suffice, as only a beautiful, natural and complete fit for these observations will do. I know what I attempt to tell you right now fits this criteria, however its primary persuasion is a matter of its holistic overview. However the explanation I am forced to give, is made up of the many sub considerations, which come to build and corroborate the overview. My description needs to portray ten meanings simultaneously, such is my challenge.
The broad sweeping holistic overview.
Space vacuum itself always having existed, however once having had nothing of physicality within. Into this nothingness emerges a self-replicating elemental field quanta, which it must be exploits a natural energy potential of space. As a convenient place holder, for now we assume vacuum potential. The field quanta being replicatable, it is automatically Darwinian in nature, and as it perpetuates its colonization of the extraordinary potential of space, consecutive generations are refining their ability to metabolize this natural energy potential that is vacuum. So right from the onset, the evolving field begins to progressively build its energy density.
Ok, so that's a nice story, but far from a given. However what I am going to do, is lead you on a journey that continually asks, "if this was to be the case, then how might the process have continued to unfold, and would it have come to resemble something of the universe as we observe?". And this will be the interpretation to withstand judgement.
The best way to lead you into these considerations, is to first reference an example of evolution we are all familiar with, Biology. For this purpose, I have an analogy referring to a microbial in an agar dish, which trains our minds to considerations of Darwinian principles. I will identify a couple of primary Darwinian principles, and make the argument they are likely themes within all cases of Darwinian emergence, not because they are fundamental, but because they are imperatively useful.
Without further a due..
Envision an agar nutrient dish that stretches off in all directions to infinity, and the nutrient inexhaustible. Into the dish habitat, place a single microbe. This scenario serves functionally analogous to the entire habitat and ecosystem of Earth, but also to my hypothetical scenario of elemental field quanta embedded in vacuum potential.
Metabolism
The microbe might start out less than ideally suited to the agar specifications, PH and the like, but nature of a Darwinian entity would be to adapt its metabolism to suit. And so too, the elemental field evolves its proficiency's.
Divergence of species
The microbe population would eventually be large, extreme points effectively isolated by the distance. Species on Earth which come to be geographically isolated on islands, or continents, inevitably leads to divergence of species, as generationally compounded changes accumulate. So too would my hypothetical elemental field quanta's.
Mortality
Before long, the microbial population has grown to such an extent, the largest sum of microbes exist within the crowded population body. This effectively excludes them from the infinite potential habitat of the nutrient dish. The microbes experience is then of a finite habitat and resource, which equates to the same circumstance of finite habitat and resource organisms experience on Earth. The problem being, if there is no room to perpetuate population growth, stalled generational exchange stalls evolutionary progression. Assuming a competitive, evolutionary progressive environment, it is the organism which maintains a health state of inter-generational exchange, which advances its adaptations and survival responses. In a circumstance of finite habitat and resource, like the Earth, it is the mortality system that becomes a near imperative evolutionary adaptation. And as I have pointed out, even a microbe living on an infinite expanse of nutrient dish, is not exempt from this consideration. And therefore neither is a hypothetical elemental field existing within the confines of its own population body. Darwinian systems require a mortality mechanism.
Microbes and further advanced life forms on Earth, are made up of elaborate series of molecules, which are in turn comprised of billions upon billions of elemental atoms. And Atoms themselves possess quite a number of intricate properties and complexities. Mass, chemical bond potentials, heat properties and photonic interactions. And the study of QM hints at a wonderfully intricate and articulated physicality of matter. So when early life initiates first use of a mortality system, then continues to advance its physical complexity through eons of evolutionary progression, integrating the function of mortality into every aspect of its being all the while. You result with something like what we observe of advanced life on Earth. Biological systems employing elaborate body clocks, that not only regulates a final act of mortality at the end of an organisms life, but billions of cellular deaths and renewals throughout the life cycle of a creature. But here is my point. Life employs many mechanisms and moving parts to govern mortality, but a prospective elemental field quanta might be presumed of ultimately simple nature. How does it solve for the mortality problem, when it doesn't have the capacity to build anything resembling a machine within individual units?
A Darwinian system which does not have capacity to build a mortality mechanism within individual units, might evolve another way to govern its mortality life cycle. I propose that in the case of my hypothetical elemental field, it might have adapted the predecessor of the Gauge Boson. Upon its original inception, Bosons might have achieved nothing more than simply reactioning and extinguish field quanta, enabling field generational exchange and renewal. However, now we have two universal elements to consider, within a symbiotic evolutionary progression. This hypothetical inter-relationship between space and matter, has efficiency considerations regarding its future evolutionary advancements. The Boson is metabolizing the field energy potential after all, so it is only natural to presume it might evolve capacity to direct that energy potential towards useful acts of work.
And this is where the prospects for this hypothesis explodes into a thousand implications, that correspond to what the universe around us, is observed to be doing. The properties of Gluons and EM building atomic structure, and the atomic property of heat. The property of mass bringing cosmological structures together. Nuclear fusion rates seemingly perfectly calibrated so as to provide enough heat, to provide stellar buoyancy against gravitational collapse. These are acts of elemental field enabled Gauge Bosons, to perform purposeful evolved work functions, promoting efficiency's of interaction between space and matter. It is through further consideration of this hypothesis that seemingly every universal act can be prescribed a cause and purpose. And through this process, we can deduce that there is a universal elemental field underlying and enabling the physical reality we experience.
Something wonderful happens, when this interpretation is viewed in comparative of the conventional view. I would very much enjoy to share.
