I found another pretty good Large Language Model besides ChatGPT called Mistral Medium. I use OpenRouter to access it.
When I asked it what a Morphic Field was, it answered:
"The concept of morphic fields is a hypothesis put forth by British biologist Rupert Sheldrake. According to Sheldrake, a morphic field is a non-physical field that organizes and influences the form and behavior of a system, such as a biological organism or a crystal. The idea is that this field contains a kind of “memory” that connects and influences similar systems, and that this “memory” is responsible for the apparent “habits” and patterns that we see in nature.
Sheldrake’s hypothesis of morphic fields is not widely accepted by the scientific community, as it is considered to be a speculative theory that lacks empirical evidence. In fact, many scientists consider the hypothesis of morphic fields to be inconsistent with well-established scientific principles such as the second law of thermodynamics.
While the idea of morphic fields is an interesting one, and it has inspired some fascinating experiments and discussions, it is not considered a mainstream scientific theory at this time. It is important to keep in mind that any scientific theory must be supported by a substantial body of evidence, obtained through rigorous and reproducible experiments, before it is accepted as a valid explanation of natural phenomena."
These models seem to be biased toward what has been proven scientifically. I’ve worked with morphic fields, and I can feel them. I’m not sure what it takes for science to accept things like this.
