I.1 - Introduction to Natural Analysis

Modern physics is entirely dedicated to find and define mathematics theories that would provide a satisfying model to physical phenomena. Nonetheless, this currently introduces confusion because mathematics provides models but doesn't explain anything. To better understand the limitation of models, let's take an example:
- A map is currently the model of a portion of territory
- Examining a map can provide effective information like the distances, the type of ground, the rivers, the altitude
- From a map, one can predict with good approximation the time to reach a point and indicate the best path to do so
The map thus yields valuable information, but examining the map of Paris doesn't mean you know Paris. This can be summarized as first statement to introduce Natural Analysis:

The same as the map is no the territory, a mathematics model is not the physical reality

Such statement is not really understood in our present world: how many of us believe in hypothetical space-time deformation because such concept comes with the relativity model?

Natural analysis consists of critical analysis of physics knowledge in order to reestablish a natural and pragmatical understanding of the physical phenomena.Natural analysis works by analogy to what is known and observed at the mesoscopic level in order to bring satisfying explanation of physics phenomena. By this way, Natural Analysis is in no case a replacement of physics based on mathematics but more exactly a complementary view that helps develop better consciousness of the physical reality.

Natural Analysis should thus open new perspectives and new research orientations from explanations of what happens in our physical world.

The predicates of Natural Analysis are the following: 
  1. 3-dimensions space and time form the immutable frame in which natural phenomena happen
  2. Nature laws remain consistent at any scale
  3. Everything natural is measurable and qualified by a physical dimension 
  4. No natural parameter can be considered as a constant 
  5. Nothing can act at a distance without a natural medium that propagates pressure and information
By these formulations, Natural Analysis draws straight links with the physics of the 19th century and especially with the British school: Maxwell, Mach, Thompson, ... because of the empirical approach who has influenced its thinkers.

Conversely, the relativistic interpretation of things cannot enter this frame of thought because imagination takes over natural consistency. Philosophically, imagination is provided by mental activity which is partly issued from the Natural world; the mental cannot recreate the world that gave it birth, it should at most accept and understand the reality of Nature as it is observed.

  1. I fully agree with 1-3 but 4 & 5 I am not so sure about. To declare a constant or to deny a constant is to presuppose what came before and what will come after. As well, the universe is natural and it is a constant. Change is natural and it too is constant. Might not be quite what you meant, but it does reveal a weakness in your wording. It seems that there is a limitation to constants, as constants can be variable. Take the speed of light. Up until they tied it into the measure of a meter it varied. So four is not entirely wrong. As for 5, can you prove this to be so?

    1. Let's reformulate point 4 as "No Natural parameter can be considered as a constant"
      Concerning predicate 5, a predicate is something accepted that is not provable.
      You possibly can disagree and I cannot enforce it as universal truth. A base of predicates is necessary to start any system of thought - to my knowledge, it is unavoidable in any science.
