Hm...it's a bit fringey. However, it does have some things in common with other, similar theories. Rupert Sheldrake's 'morphogenic fields' come to mind, for example.
One thing that bothers me about this, though, is that there's no scientific method demonstration of the validity of the theory they're talking about here. Granted, that might be difficult to prove/disprove, but at the same time there's not even a postulate of an experimental method to test this. And if it's as important as the author(s) state, there SHOULD BE something along those lines either performed or in workup to be performed in order to do a proof.
Science, after all, means scientific method. If there's no scientific method, then what'cha got there is blue-sky speculative junk. Not that I wouldn't like to see a validation of something like this, mind you...but it's got to be done RIGHT.
