The Infinite Coexistent Structural Hexalevels

The Scales of Physics and the Structural Dimensions of TUGIA

According to the traditional concepts of physics, astrophysics, and astronomy as a whole, the different "sizes" of bodies and cosmic structures are defined by the term "scales," while the different "directions" of empty space—or the "directions" in which bodies are structured or "extend" within that same space—are defined by the term "dimension." These are defined as totaling three, if we set aside the supposed fourth "dimension," which would be the temporal component of relativistic "space-time." This supposed "temporal dimension" will not be addressed in this chapter of TUGIA. Thus, when physicists say "at the atomic scale," for example, they are referring to the sizes of "atoms" and molecules, and when they say "at the planetary scale," they refer to the sizes of planets and similar objects. Yet, all these elements of different "scales," or different "sizes," are immersed in a universe of only three spatial "dimensions," which in truth signify three spatial "directions."

In this way, we can understand that each type of "scale" encompasses a huge quantity of distinct types and "sizes" of structures, meaning that in a universe with only three spatial "dimensions" (which shall hereafter be called "spatial directions"), there are sets of bodies with different "sizes," with different scales. Therefore, for conventional physicists—adherents of the Standard Cosmological Model—the universe has only three spatial "dimensions," while bodies possess diverse "sizes," as is the case with the "planetary scale," within which the objects present range from comets (rocks), planets, stars, and nebulae to quasars (which are star systems collapsed into the nuclei of galaxies) and the supposed, absurd "black holes," which would possess different sizes (masses) but would be contained within a universe of only three spatial "dimensions."

At this stage of understanding traditional physical concepts of "dimension" and "size" (scale), we can already see that a single characteristic of bodies or space—that is, direction (and orientation)—diverges into two very different paths. It becomes two quite distinct concepts: one mystical, magical, and strange, which is the concept of "dimension" (which should be "direction"), and another mathematical, geometric, and physical, which is that of "size," called "scale" (which should be "Dimension"). Thus, the long and short of it is that for physicists, there is a distinction between "dimension" and "size." Consequently, "dimension" is treated as something "magical"—even suggesting that "extra dimensions" could exist, "hidden" between the other three—while the term "size" is treated as something physical.

The Hexalevels of Structural Organization

So, how many distinct Levels of Structural Organization can exist for the elements present in the Omega Dimension? How are the structures of the universe organized in their fullness, hierarchically speaking?

According to TUGIA, when each type of cosmic structure acts as an individual, autonomous, and distinct functional element—much like the various cells, tissues, organs, and systems of the human body—we can perceive that there is a limited number of structures within our observable universe. However, this limited number of structures signifies only what we can glimpse through our best direct-observation technology, such as the various types of existing telescopes, and not the reality of the totality of structures within a spatially infinite universe.

We can see that relatively larger structures, such as galactic superclusters, are constituted by hundreds or thousands of galaxy clusters; these, in turn, are constituted by dozens or hundreds of galaxies, which are structures made up of billions of stars and other smaller bodies—such as planets, moons, and asteroids—that together form relatively smaller functional structures, such as star systems, as is the case with our solar system. Thus, each type of structure possesses a specific type of Basic Building Block, and it is these basic building blocks that distinguish the various Levels of Structural Organization.

It suffices, therefore, to organize the types of structures into sets of elements of a similar nature. As an example, consider the specific case of a galaxy, where we can note that the billions of stars that compose it act, in fact, as an autonomous and independent object—much like a living organism which, despite being formed by billions of cells, can be understood as an individual and distinct animal specimen. Every galaxy, small or large, present in any part of the universe, can be understood as a distinct, autonomous structure that is, to a certain extent, practically independent of other objects of a similar nature around it. They act as if they were living organisms—individual and autonomous cells—with stars serving as their primary Basic Building Blocks.

According to TUGIA, if we draw analogies with the previous biological example, we will see that one can enumerate very few distinct structures in the visible universe. We will see shortly that there are Six distinct Levels of Structural Organization. But what of the universe with infinite dimensions (the Omega Dimension)? How many levels can be distinguished within it?

According to TUGIA, it is not merely that there is a simple logical possibility for them to exist; rather, there factually exist infinite Levels of Organization for the structures of the dimensionally infinite universe. There exists an infinite hierarchy of structures, as these structures are fundamentally geometric, dimensionless, numerically infinite, and contained within a space absolutely devoid of horizons or boundaries. However, among these infinite structures, we can only "perceive" six. These Six Levels of Organization, nevertheless, can only be perceived starting from our own level of organization—that is, from the Structural Level to which humanity belongs—since it is we who observe the levels "above and below" our own.

The names of these Structural Levels of Organization are inspired by the letters of the Greek alphabet. The letters chosen to name these levels were selected as follows: the 24 letters were grouped into six columns, containing four letters each. Each letter that heads each column represents the name of the Structural Level of Organization, with the exception of the last column, whose name was inspired by the last letter of that column, the letter Omega. The order of the structural levels of organization of the cosmos is as follows in the next chapter.
