Reality is...

Matrix multiplication represents the composition of linear maps between vector spaces. So, the extent that you can model aspects of reality as transformations between linear spaces, matrix multiplication faithfully represents those aspects of reality.

But the map is not the territory. Reality isn't the matrix multiplications. Rather, we can model various aspects of reality using matrix multiplication. What's really "out there" beyond our human minds and clever symbology is a question of philosophy.

Thank you for your response. Though I am not in complete agreement with it. If reality is indeed matrix mathematics, then any transformation between two vector spaces would indeed be included as a transformation of reality.

Could you think of me like a four year old and try to explain it to me simply?

Energy transfers itself from one moment to another depending on the actions of the object which carries it. Action = [energy]·[time]. The object itself is made up of an energy field. Not free, but bounded.
 
My problem is you appear to be flirting with physical equations (E=mc^2, F=ma) in philosophy? I don't know what you're aiming at.

My apologies if I was unclear. I was attempting to answer your question in regards to my conception of physical matter and its relationship to energy.

We already have a reasonable handle on that relationship:
E = MC^2

This precisely explains the relationship, nay, their equivalence.
Action = [energy]·[time]

Not sure what you mean here??
 
Spellbound said:
Action is measured in Joules/ second. [energy]·[time].

So [energy].[time] means energy divided by time??

So you're saying that "Action" is merely another word for Power, usually measured in Watts (1 Watt being 1 Joule/second)?

If so, why not just use the term that everyone would most likely understand??

Yes, energy times time is Action. Whereas Power = Energy divided by time.
 
Another in the long series of 'reality is' bullshit. Spellbound just can't make up his mind.

It's certainly not bullshit. And it has nothing to do with being unable to make up my mind. Reality is a thing that comes in many forms.
