And he hovered water– Toward a New Vision of the Physical World?

Any physical theory is embedded within a conceptual framework that determines the meaning of the notions it employs. When this framework remains unarticulated, it may give rise to a plurality of competing interpretations, or even to persistent ambiguities concerning the physical status of fundamental quantities. In this context, clarifying the conceptual and ontological presuppositions does not constitute an external addition to the theory, but a means of strengthening its coherence and interpretative unity.

Conclusion of the Book And He Moved over the Waters

This conclusion was originally made available online as part of a discussion concerning the principal ideas developed in the book. It has now been removed from the website so that it may be read within its original context.

The book explores the mode of action of the motive principle of the Universe and the consequences this could have for our understanding of space, motion, inertia, and causality. In particular, it examines the possibility of a fully relational conception of space and of the physical world.
