Abstract

In this paper, we introduce a new type of computation is called “Morphic Computing”. The Morphic Computing is based on Field Theory and more specifically based on Morphic Fields. Morphic Fields were first introduced by Rupert Sheldrake [1981] based on his hypothesis of formative causation which makes use of the older notion of Morphogenetic Fields. Rupert Sheldrake [1981] developed his famous theory, the Morphic Resonance, on the basis of the work by French philosopher Henri Bergson. The Morphic Fields and it‘s subset Morphogenetic Fields have been in the center of controversy for many years among mainstream science and the hypothesis is not accepted by some scientists, who consider it pseudoscience. We claim that the Morphic Computing is a natural extension of the Holographic Computation, Quantum Computation, Soft Computing, and DNA computing. All the natural computation that are bonded by the Turing Machine can be formalised and extended by our new type of computation model - Morphic Computing. In this paper, we introduce the basis for our new Computing paradigm - Morphic Computing-, it’s extensions such as Quantum Logic and Entanglement in Morphic Computing, Morphic Systems and Morphic System of Systems (M-SOS) and it’s applications to the field of computation by words as an example of the Morphic Computing, Morphogenetic Fields in neural network and Morphic Computing, Morphic Fields - concepts and Web search, and agents and fuzzy in Morphic Computing.
