Abstract
In this paper, we introduce a new type of computation called ‘‘Morphic Computing’’. Morphic Computing is based on Field Theory and more specifically Morphic Fields. We claim that Morphic Computing is a natural extension of Holographic Computation, Quantum Computation, Soft Computing, and DNA Computing. All natural computations 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 this new computing paradigm.
