Rupert Sheldrake’s work on morphic resonance proposes that natural systems inherit a collective memory from all previous similar systems. Instead of genes and environment alone shaping development and behavior, Sheldrake suggests a non-local field—called a morphic field—guides the form and organization of everything from crystals to human societies.
His core idea is that “like attracts like across time”—so once a pattern (like a crystal structure or a learned behavior) occurs, it’s more likely to recur in the future, not because of physical causation but because of resonance with past instances.
