From Werner A Muller's_Developmental Biology_(1997.Springer.New York,p 183):
(bq) "A morphogenetic field is an area whose cells can cooperatively bring about
a distinct structure or set of structures."
Think about this:
(bq) A morphogenetic field is a paradigm/a characteristic form/a meme-complex/
a cultural organisation whose habitual traits/building blocks/learned systems/me-
mes can cooperatively bring about a distinct pattern/behaviour/belief or set of tasks.
(bq) Another way to define a morphogenetic field is as an area in which signal sub-
stances- "inducer", "morphogen", or " factor" become effective and contribute to
the subdivision of the field into subregions.
Think also about this:
(bq) Another way to define a morphogenetic field (meme-complex) is as a belief-
space (cyberspace/Noosphere/Ideosphere/memepool!?) is which signal substan-
ces- "codes"," memetic strategies", or " vector" become effective and contribute
to the subdivision of the meme-complex/morphogenetic field into lineages/niches/
phemes.
Thank you for the interest!
