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....
