    Morphogenetic FieldsHi all,
    Just for the ones who are interested.
    Morphogenetic Fields
    and the hypothesis of formative causation

    formative causation, hypothesis of: The hypothesis that organisms or morphic units at all levels of complexity are organized by morphic fields, which are themselves influenced and stabilized by morphic resonance from all previous similar morphic units
      
     All of which gives the following diagram:

                morphic resonance morphic field
                 
               morphic unit
         

      

    the cycle of ideas
    Here is only one possible perspective on how morphic resonance and formative causation fits in to the big picture regarding human understanding (and bias) of the universe:
                psychic reality Thought- forms
                   
                psycho-physical interface formative causation
               memes
                   
                physical-social reality
                (Noosphere) paradigms
         

      

    This is taking from Glossary

      A personal note, " there is a field of habitual patterns that links all people,

    which influences and is influenced by the habits of all people. This field

    contains the habit patterns of knowledge or a behavior_ the stronger the

    field the more easily it replicates in a new person." ( Sheldrake)

    An sorry, guys, IMO, he talks here about memes. Not in so many words,

    but anyway....
