morphogenetic field theory

Morphogenetic field theory suggests that biological forms and patterns—such as the development of tissues, organs, or species traits—are guided by invisible, organizing fields that influence how cells and structures develop over time. These fields act as information templates, directing growth and form without physical contact, helping explain the consistency and shared characteristics seen among similar organisms. This concept emphasizes that development is shaped not only by genetics but also by these organizing fields that contain a collective memory or blueprint guiding biological organization.
