In physics, is there any field (field like electric field, magnetic field, etc.) that is not related to the 4 Fundamental forces? Kinetic energy is not related to it because it is bulk action. How about "field"? Is Higgs field an example? It is not a force of nature. Also Inflaton field. It doesn't seem to be related to the 4 fundamental forces. How do you make the distinctions when a field is related to the 4 forces and when it is not? What's the defining distinctions and descriptions?

The only fields that I know of are the ones from the 4 fudamental forces. The higgs field is a hypothetical field only that has yet to be observed. Can you name any other fields?

How about Inflaton Field. Dark matter field (?) Can others share more?
