The Experiential Field as a Morphogenetic Space: A Field‑Oriented Framework for Subjective Experience and Clinical Practice
Theory & Psychology February 19, 2026 Luca Zamengo
Subjective experience arises from an experiential field, a morphogenetic space that continuously shifts states. Signification is the primary structuring force, organizing perceptual flow and modulating the interplay between presence and absence as two co-implicated topological domains. Presence anchors meaning with stability and continuity, while absence is not a void but a generative force that reorganizes meaning trajectories and fosters transformation. Three conceptual propositions illustrate how presence and absence interact to shape unique subjective experience. Clinically, the framework offers a structured lens for meaning-making dynamics in therapy, and a case example shows how integrating absence can open new possibilities for change.
