Any mention of Bohm tends to generate thoughts of “pilot waves”, which I understand has been discredited.

His concept of “implicate” and “explicate orders” was somewhat different. Some of his book “Wholeness and the Implicate Order” was a bit like neutrinos; it passed through my head with little reaction.

The (hitch-hiker level) impression with which I was left was that the implicate order represents underlying reality, and is timeless, changeless and spaceless.

The “reality” we observe equates to the explicate order. This is a partial perception; a sort of shadow; of the implicate order.

The idea of wholeness implies that everything is linked (timelessly and spacelessly) to everything else.


There never was nothing.
