G_3_26 — Resonance as Universal Information Encoding

Resonance — the selective amplification of energy at characteristic frequencies — appears across physical, biological, and cognitive systems as a substrate-independent information-encoding mechanism. From radio receivers

G_3_12 — Morphic Resonance and Formative Causation

Morphic resonance is a hypothesis proposed by Rupert Sheldrake (1981, A New Science of Life) that posits the existence of morphic fields — non-local, non-energetic fields that carry information about the habits (forms an

G_3_27 — Morphic Resonance vs Epigenetic Inheritance: A Rigorous Comparison

For decades, Rupert Sheldrake's morphic resonance hypothesis — that organisms inherit form and behavior through a non-material "morphic field" carrying patterns from past similar systems — has been the most prominent fri
