Today, explorations into quantum physics, systems theory, holography, and morphogenetic fields offer similar perspectives on the structure of the universe.

The concept is analogous to holography, which uses a reference wave.
Academic text (2006) -
In the context of string theory, holography is a relation between the information carried on a surface and that within the volume it encloses.

The term "holography," in fact, implies a projection of a three-dimensional image onto a two-dimensional plane.
Academic text (1998) -
Displays will feature works by imaging artists created with technologies such as holography, computer graphics, electrostatic imaging, and electronic transmission.
Academic text (1992) -
The holo portion signifies that reality is structured in a manner that can be likened to holography.
Academic text (1993) -
The art of mobile holography, a salesman was saying, was on the verge of another breakthrough; these images, under carefully controlled conditions, were able to stimulate in the spectator a sensation of touch and to give the illusion of life itself.

Karl Pribram (1986) speculates that the brain may function as a spectral analyzer—recording images by holography and distributing the information to all parts of the brain.

How Three-Dimensional
Surface Forms
Morphology
holography = holo + graph + y
Although the word contains recognizable classical elements, its specialized optical meaning is not directly predictable for most learners from those parts alone.
Etymology
Holography comes from the Greek parts holo- meaning 'whole' and -graphy meaning 'writing' or 'recording', and the same -graphy appears in photography. So holography is like 'writing the whole' of an object, which is why it can make three-dimensional images instead of flat pictures.
