My presentation consists of two parts:
Being&Probability, which I am
presenting now and
Time&Fractal, which I am going to
post in my page of forthcoming
publications in a week:

(Please, look at and comment it, I’ll
answer!)
 The general frame of presentation:
What means “Being and Knowledge along
any post-metaphysical context”?
I mean “Being&Knowledge along of any
post-metaphysical contexts”
“Being&Knowledge” means: Being and
Knowledge are the same: Being, which is
Knowledge&Knowledge, which is Being,
i.e. Being=Knowledge
 From Being&Knowledge to
Being&Probability
It is Information that is Substance of
Being, which is Knowledge
Information is a relation between
probabilities
Granted is: two kinds of probabilties –
subjective and objective. We reckon objective
probabilities for Being and we reckon subjective
probabilities for Knowledge
 Our two basic postulates:

1. No experience might differ anyway

subjective from objective probability, i.e.
Being from Knowledge

2. Substance of Being=Knowledge is
Information as a relation between
probabilities notwithstanding subjective or
objective ones
 Three theses:

• Being has informational character.

• Information is relation between probabilities.
∀ Ψ-function evolves from the representation of the
information into the space-time.
Being has informational character…

• Being of existing: • Being of existing

preservation, conservation supplements with being as
information
• Quantum information
• Energy conservation law conservation law
• Non-Newton time
• Newton time – uniformly
infinitesimal,
homogeneous, unstructured
• No physical object is out of • Blinking in space-time:
space-time appearing, disappearing,
here and there happening
 •Being of existing supplements
with being as information
Two kinds of physical being:
Time is “constant”: any
Energetic = moment is just the same as
any other past
future
Interaction of
moments present
= Time is not “constant”:
Informational the moments are different

the ordering in time of equidistant

space-time sections along a world line
 A hypothesis:
The successive ordering of
equidistant space-time distances
along a world line corresponds to
the ordering in decreasing
frequency of appearing into space-
time of a Ψ-function and to the
ordering in level of similarity of a
fractal structure
The conclusions are
the same as the
three theses

To remember them!
 Conclusions:

• Being has informational character.

• Information is a relation between probabilities.
