morphic_fields
unhinged organizational fields can evolve. the creativity of the evolution of morphic fields is what evolution is. not the transmission of genetics, according to the brilliant rupert sheldrake, amazing paradigm shifter that he is...or maybe was.

if physics can have electromagnetic fields then why can't biology have morphic fields?

'...let us recall the hypothetical properties of these fields at all levels of complexity:

1) they are self organizing wholes.

2) they have both a spatial and a temporal aspect and they organize spatiotemporal patterns of vibratory or rhythmic activity.

3)they attract the systems under their influence toward characteristic forms and patterns of activity whose coming-into-being they organize and whose integrity they maintain...the pathways by which systems usually reach these attractors are called chreodes.

4) they interrelate and coordinate the morphic units, or holons, that lie within them, which in turn are wholes organized by morphic fields. Morphic fields contain other morphic fields in a ...holarchy.

5) they are structures of probability, and their organizing activity is probabilistic.

6) they contain a built-in memory given by self-resonance and by morphic_resonance with all previous similar systems. this memory is cumulative. the more often particular patterns of activity are repeated the more habitual they tend to become.'-rs (presence of the past p.379-80)
