Talk:Morphogenetic field

From the Quicksilver Metaweb.

All right, but what does the morphogenetic field do? How does it interact with life, and presumably DNA? Or is that just a bad name based on an earlier misinterpretation?

It's still used by Sheldrake although he uses morphic resonance more generally. Read about it and related ideas from the Baroque era and thereabouts at Wikipedia: morphogenetic field.

The term epigenetics vs. epigenetic is no worse in terms of bad naming.

What follows is a description of morphogenetic field theory, as described by a previous Metaweb user who I can only assume is a believer.

Assume away. I just summed up the theory. Follow the link on Sheldrake. Sparky 01:24, 2003 Dec 3 (PST)

The article is much better now, and much more so than the unreadable Andrew Loeb which makes allusions that it seems a neophyte can't make without a vast body of strange arcane knowledge, or corporate personhood which is not an article but a critique of an article. THe point of wikis is not to re-invent threaded dialogue, but rather, to list what is agreed on and what is factual, and then to attribute what is disputed.

A more detailed note here on the differences or similarities between morphogenetic field and quantum entanglement would be of value. Also string theory has similarities to both theories that could be explored and is a useful Metaweb:troll bridge in case you wish to continue word fencing.
