Formal Objects and Organization Levels

What is behind a Formal Graph Which physical system can be really represented These questions absolutely need to be answered because drawing nodes and links with the only rules previously given can be a game deprived from physical meaning. What was lacking until now is the definition of the physical object represented by a Formal Graph. [Pg.42]

Earlier in this chapter, two types of energy variations were carefully distinguished, according to the grouping or not of entities that constitutes the containers of energy. For a single entity one was [Pg.42]


Microscopic-Macroscopic. These concepts of Formal Object and organization levels are new. There is obviously an implicit scale of complexity in classical physics, but levels are not explicitly formalized and generalized to all domains. If they are, they are thought in terms of size, as for the distinction microscopic-macroscopic that delimits the quantum world from the classical one. Here, this classical distinction is made differently between the singletons and the poles, that is to say in terms of individual or collective behavior, whatever the physical size. A large object may behave in a quantum way, provided that its behavior is not collective (Which is beyond the behavior of a pair or a few objects.)... [Pg.46]
