Metaphysical Distinctions Between Plasmic Fields and Holographic Fields
Within metaphysical literature, both plasmic fields and holographic fields function as models for describing non-material modes of organization, but they differ in the kinds of processes they are taken to represent. Their primary distinction concerns ontological emphasis—dynamic substance versus informational structure—while their unifying features lie in non-locality, subtle organization, and field-like coherence.
Plasmic Field
1. Plasmic Fields: Metaphysical Characteristics
Metaphysically, a plasmic field is typically conceived as a dynamic, energetic substratum that behaves analogously to physical plasma but is not reducible to it. Plasma in physics is characterized by charge separation, fluidity, and responsiveness to electromagnetic forces. Metaphysical authors borrow these properties metaphorically to depict a subtle energetic medium underlying manifestation.
Key metaphysical attributes:
1. Energetic Substantiality
– A plasmic field is described as possessing a quasi-substantial energetic density or “subtle matter” quality, analogous to the “etheric” energies in theosophical and neo-hermetic literature (e.g., Leadbeater, 1902/1972; Brennan, 1987).
2. Processual Flux
– It is defined by continuous movement, turbulence, and self-organizing currents, similar to Bohm’s “holomovement” (Bohm, 1980), although Bohm himself described this in physical-philosophical rather than esoteric terms.
3. Generative Function
– The plasmic field is sometimes treated as causally generative, giving rise to structured phenomena in denser levels of reality (cf. Wilber, 1995).
Thus, a plasmic field is framed as energetic, dynamic, and formative, with emphasis on process and subtle materiality.

2. Holographic Fields: Metaphysical Characteristics
A holographic field, by contrast, is modeled not on subtle substance but on information, pattern, and distributed representation. It draws conceptually from holography in physics and the brain sciences, particularly Bohm’s implicate order and Pribram’s holonomic brain theory (Bohm, 1980; Pribram, 1991).
Key metaphysical attributes:
1. Informational Holism
– Every portion of a holographic field is said to contain the informational pattern of the whole, reflecting the “part–whole enfoldment” central to holographic analogies (Bohm & Peat, 1987).
2. Nonlocal Organization
– Information is distributed throughout the field such that local changes can express nonlocal relationships, a concept frequently used in metaphysical accounts of synchronicity or interconnectedness (Laszlo, 2004).
3. Representational Function
– A holographic field is often described as a blueprint of patterning, not a substantive energetic layer. It conveys the form of things rather than the energy through which forms manifest.
Thus, holographic fields emphasize information, pattern, and nonlocal enfoldment, rather than energetic flux.
3. What Differentiates Them Metaphysically
In short:
A plasmic field is a metaphor for subtle energy, while a holographic field is a metaphor for informational ordering.
4. Qualities That Unite Plasmic and Holographic Fields
Despite their differences, metaphysical accounts bring these concepts together through several unifying features:
1. Field Ontology
– Both are conceived as fields, meaning extended, non-localized modalities of being that structure phenomena beyond simple physical causality (Bohm, 1980; Wilber, 1995).
2. Nonlocal Coherence
– Each framework posits coherent organization across distance, whether via energetic resonance (plasmic) or informational enfoldment (holographic).
3. Subtle-Level Explanatory Role
– Both are invoked to explain phenomena not easily reduced to classical materialism—such as consciousness, morphogenesis, or synchronicity—though purely at the level of metaphysical speculation (Laszlo, 2004).
4. Complementary Rather Than Exclusive – Many contemporary metaphysical systems integrate both: a holographic field provides the pattern, while a plasmic field provides the energetic medium for enacting that pattern (e.g., Wilber, 1995).
Together they form a dual-aspect model:
energy + pattern → manifest form.
