alomorfía

Alomorfía is a term used in certain philosophical and theoretical contexts, particularly within speculative fiction and some areas of fringe science, to describe a phenomenon of non-biological transformation or evolution. It is not a recognized scientific term in mainstream biology or physics. The concept generally refers to a change in an organism's fundamental nature or form, not through conventional biological processes like mutation or adaptation, but through an alteration of its underlying physical or existential properties. This can involve changes in density, dimensionality, composition, or even its relationship with spacetime.

The idea of alomorfía often arises when contemplating scenarios of advanced technology, alien life, or post-human existence. For example, a being that transitions from a corporeal state to a purely energetic form might be considered to have undergone alomorfía. Similarly, a creature that can manipulate its own atomic structure to mimic other materials or environments could be seen as exhibiting alomórfic traits. The term implies a deliberate or inherent capacity for such radical metamorphoses that transcend typical biological limitations. It suggests a kind of existential plasticity where the boundaries of what constitutes an entity are fluid and subject to change beyond biological evolution.
