Morphogenetic Fields and Bioelectric Validation: When the "Spooky" Becomes Measurable
For nearly a century, two ideas haunted the margins of biology. Harold Saxton Burr at Yale University measured electrical fields around living organisms in the 1930s and 1940s, calling them "L-fields" (life fields) and claiming they served as organizational templates for biological form.
