Phen (ΦN)

Phen (ΦN) The centre of the PTM. It is the "Projector" 📽️ that gives rise to all Phenomena.

Description of Phen (ΦΝ)

Phen — ΦΝ - is contraction of Physics/Phenomenon + Zen. It is based on the science of how everything arises (Projects) from nothing therefore the merging of both Zen concepts & physics / phenomenon seemed apt. It creates a consistent naming structure for each of the 4 generations of the Phen Theory Model & although it may require slight reinterpretation of existing related words in other theories or branches of science & philosophy

E = Emergence - in the POLECS we use an alternative notation for the Phen to denote its position, meaning The Phen, Center, Origin, Projection point of Emergence. E is used only in the POLE coordinate system & not used elswhere to avoid confusion with E for Energy. All other times it's ΦΝ

Stage 1

Phen (Unobserved)

Contains all potential energy & information. 

A single non-particle / non-matter. Neither matter nor antimatter. It’s a “no-thing”, not "nothing"

Yet it is:

• • information unobserved

  • potential energy

  • the "Projector" 📽️

  • the unseen centre origin of 3 dimensional radial axes (Projection Phibres)

    • not a point, it has no dimension (Zero dimensional)

      • where balance is acheived. Literally the middle path

  • dark & light, it is both dark & light at the same time & it's not both dark & light at the same time (6 states)

  • all matter, all mass... everything in a dark state

Phen (Observed)

• When Phen is observed, all matter & phenomena arise from it

• The observed Phen becomes “self conscious” & splits potential energy into Potential & energy, that energy being a photon (Light energy) and the potential remaining as the unseen Phen

• That photon still zero dimensional but released from its potential into light energy 

• Which then through the same process of being “self conscious/observed” splits, shooting out in 2 directions forming a 1 dimensional Phibre made of a stretched photon in a special type of balanced ternary state  (-1, 1, 1+) with the ends of that Phibre being the (+1), (-1) and the photon being the stretched body (1). Phen remains the unseen center balance but not a point or 0. See Phlogic for the exact process & logic or the Thought Experiments that illustrate the process

• Those 2 ends being “self conscious/observed” split & try to achieve balance by forming 2 more Phibres for a total of 6 "ends". The 2nd & 3rd generations now with 6 ends - Up-down, left-right, front-back on 3 Photon Projection Phibres

  • This process is actually instantaneous so the first 3 generations shoot out from the same Phen origin location. & the Phen then remains in the centre in an unobserved state of potential

  • In the future I will try to refer to that location as the Origin Location OL or Phen location PL (yet to be decided) because using Phlogic there isnt a 0 point, the line / Phibre remains 1

Stage 2

The Photon Projection Phibres become Phenom (Phen Observed as Matter / Phen Objects of Mass)

Phen is also responsible for Dark matter (Well actually for everything)

See cosmological ratios for more details on the simple explanation and precise calculation of Dark matter and energy as well as regular (Baryonic) matter

Phen Symbol - ΦN

Phen (ΦN) The centre of the PTM. It is the "Projector" 📽️ that gives rise to everything.

ΦN

• ΦN - to be pronounced Phen (fen)

• ΦN visually echoes the English word “ON”. Together, Φ + N becomes a symbol of conscious ignition — the Phen as the primal switch that lights up reality

Φ

• Φ = Greek Alphabet Letter: Phi

• Φ suggests balance, emergence, proportion, harmony. 2 halves both positive & negative mirror opposite 

• Φ shows the process of division

• Rotated the ∅ represents Null or emptiness. Yet more symbolism of its unobserved state 

• The small extensions from the dividing line represents how things radiate & emerge from the ΦN

• The dividing line also represents the vectors or “Phibres” radiating out from it’s centre

N

• N = Greek Alphabet Letter: Nu

• It provides both the pronunciation of turning Φ Phee or Phi into Phen. 

• Provides the visual appearance of the word ON when combined with Φ

• N (or Nu) ties to waves, movement, continuity

• Nu symbolises - Neutrinos (like ν_e, ν_μ, ν_τ) fundemental particles 

• Nu commonly represents frequency

• Etymological echo: “Nu” ≈ New. Associated with emergence, beginning, newness

• Visual echos of the straight Phibre vectors of the triangular Phenomenon faces (Phrames)

Note: 

Φ & Ν together doesn’t form a Greek word & would not be read as a native Greek term. This actually works in Phen Theory’s favour — it keeps ΦN unique to this theory as a symbol or name without preexisting cultural or academic baggage.

Alternative symbols: The Japanese symbol Maru ( ○ ) is also suitable for representing the Phen as the circular brush stroke symbol like Maru is often used to represent Zen. Its physical shell like appearance connects with the concept of a container seemingly empty but full of potential. Alternatively a spherical yin yang symbol ☯️ is also suitable especially in the context of PT's sister site Universal Colour Theory
