The concept you describe as **"Morphological resonance"** (or "morphic resonance") is essentially identical to **morphic resonance**, a hypothesis proposed by biologist Rupert Sheldrake. Sheldrake's theory posits that natural systems (biological, behavioral, social, etc.) inherit a collective memory from previous similar systems via invisible "morphic fields." These fields enable influence across time and space through resonance based on similarity, making it easier for new patterns (forms, behaviors, knowledge, or abilities) to emerge once they've occurred elsewhere. This creates cumulative habits in nature rather than fixed laws.

Your description aligns closely:
- **Alignment of morphological states** Sheldrake's morphic fields organize form (morphology) and behavior.
- **Imparting knowledge/ability for physical or intellectual feats** Examples include rats learning mazes faster worldwide after one group masters it, or human skills spreading via collective memory.
- **World records in sports** Once a barrier (e.g., 4-minute mile) is broken, it becomes easier for others due to resonance with the past achievement.
- **Parallel independent discoveries/inventions** Historical "multiples" (e.g., calculus by Newton and Leibniz) explained as tuning into the same emerging field.

Now, comparing to **critical mass theory** and the **100th monkey theory** (often called the "hundredth monkey effect"):

### Key Similarities
All three ideas involve non-local, collective transmission of behaviors, knowledge, or changes without direct physical contact or traditional learning:
- **Sudden or rapid shifts**: Your second text describes a "mass awakening" or traits/behaviors changing "on a flip of a dime" once critical mass is reached — mirroring how morphic resonance can accelerate adoption as more individuals contribute to the field.
- **Collective influence across groups**: The 100th monkey story (monkeys suddenly adopting potato-washing on separate islands after a "critical number" on one island) is frequently cited by proponents as evidence for morphic resonance. Sheldrake himself notes it as circumstantial support for non-local effects in learning/consciousness, though he views his theory as more gradual (influence strengthens cumulatively, not always a sharp threshold).
- **Tipping point/critical mass**: Critical mass theory (in sociology or collective behavior) refers to a threshold where enough individuals adopt something for it to spread explosively. The 100th monkey popularized this as a metaphor for sudden global shifts (e.g., in awareness or habits). Morphic resonance incorporates a similar dynamic: the more a pattern is repeated, the stronger the resonance, making it easier to reach "critical" adoption — akin to a field building momentum.

In New Age and spiritual contexts, these are often blended: morphic resonance provides a "mechanism" (fields/resonance) for how critical mass or 100th monkey-style awakenings occur, enabling fast species-wide or societal changes.

### Key Differences
- **Threshold vs. Gradual**: The 100th monkey and strict critical mass emphasize a sharp tipping point (e.g., exactly the "100th" triggers instant spread). Sheldrake's morphic resonance is more cumulative and probabilistic — influence grows with repetition, without requiring a precise critical number (though thresholds can emerge).

**Scientific Status and Basis**:
- Morphic resonance is a formal hypothesis by Sheldrake, testable (e.g., via rat learning experiments or crystallization rates), but widely criticized as pseudoscience due to lack of mainstream evidence and conflicts with established biology/genetics.
- The 100th monkey effect is largely **debunked** as a myth: Original primate research showed gradual spread via observation/imitation within troops and mother-offspring teaching; no evidence of sudden jumps to isolated islands. It was exaggerated by author Lyall Watson from anecdotes.
- Critical mass is a sociological concept (e.g., in collective action or innovation diffusion), grounded in observable networks, not mystical fields.
- **Scope**: Morphic resonance applies broadly (forms, habits, memory in all nature). The others focus more on behavioral/consciousness shifts in groups.

### Overall Similarity
Your first description ("Morphological resonance") is **extremely similar (nearly synonymous)** to Sheldrake's morphic resonance — the examples and mechanism match precisely. The second text's ideas (critical mass + 100th monkey for rapid mass changes/awakenings) are **conceptually related and often linked by supporters** as illustrative of morphic resonance in action, especially for sudden collective shifts. However, the 100th monkey is not reliable evidence, and pure critical mass doesn't require non-local fields.

In summary, high overlap in the underlying idea of collective, non-material influence enabling fast propagation of new abilities/traits — but morphic resonance is the more comprehensive, field-based framework, while the others are narrower (and one debunked).
