1/Implicate and explicate orders--A thread “We are all linked by a fabric of unseen connections. This fabric is constantly changing and evolving. This field is directly structured and influenced by our behavior and by our understanding.” ~David Bohm https://t.co/JFJMmrzrhU (View Tweet)

2/ David Bohm was a quantum physicist whose work focused on understanding the fundamental nature of reality. Bohm's concept of implicate and explicate orders is a way of understanding the relationship between the manifest world we experience and often (View Tweet)

3/ think of as “reality” and the underlying system that gives rise to it. The explicate order is the consensus reality that we share directly. We perceive the world of objects, space, and time with our senses. The explicate order is what we see and experience now, https://t.co/nHHTo8yO4a (View Tweet)

4/ and it is the world that we interact with daily. In contrast, the implicate order is a deeper level of reality hidden from our direct experience. According to Bohm, the implicate order contains the potential for all things to exist. (View Tweet)

5/It is a realm of infinite possibilities that underlies the manifest world. The implicate order is the source of the manifest world, and the deeper reality gives rise to the explicate order. https://t.co/PvmtUyFBvH (View Tweet)

6/ Bohm used the hologram metaphor to help explain the relationship between the implicate and explicate orders. A hologram is a two-dimensional image that appears to be three-dimensional. The image is created by a beam of light split in two. https://t.co/XWUINi40IW (View Tweet)

7/ One beam is directed onto the photographed object, and the other is directed onto a photographic plate. The two beams interact to create a complex interference pattern captured on the photographic plate. (View Tweet)

8/ When the photographic plate is illuminated with a light beam, the interference pattern is recreated as a three-dimensional image. This isn't science fiction anymore--@LeiaInc makes beautiful 3D tablets that don't require any glasses or other interface. https://t.co/Xk6lIJKXv9 (View Tweet)

9/ Bohm believed that the universe was like a hologram in that the manifest world we experience is a surface manifestation of a deeper, hidden reality. The interference pattern that creates the hologram is like the implicate order, https://t.co/EyVzWaaDsX (View Tweet)

10/ while the three-dimensional image is like the explicate order. The implicate order contains the potential for all possible three-dimensional images, while the explicate order is a specific manifestation of the interference pattern. (View Tweet)

11/ The implications of Bohm's concept of implicate and explicate orders are profound. They suggest that the manifest world we experience is not the fundamental reality but a surface manifestation of a deeper, hidden reality. In a sense, he suggests that we participate in (View Tweet)

12/ creating the consensus reality of the manifest world, whereas the implicate order underlying it is a world of all of the endless possibilities from which we sentient beings create the world many still see as existing independently "out there." https://t.co/4GX092A2Zj (View Tweet)

13/ The implicate order contains the potential for all things to exist, which means that the manifest world is just one possible manifestation of the implicate order. This idea challenges our conventional understanding of reality and suggests https://t.co/l2xgB9bFNg (View Tweet)

14/ that there may be more profound, hidden dimensions to the universe that we have yet to discover. Bohm's concept of implicate and explicate orders also challenges our understanding of consciousness. Bohm believed that consciousness was a fundamental aspect of the universe (View Tweet)

15/ and intimately connected to the implicate order. He proposed that consciousness was a manifestation of the implicate order and that our individual consciousness was a surface manifestation of a deeper, collective consciousness that underlies the universe. https://t.co/rUlid4oeSz (View Tweet)

16/ This idea challenges our conventional understanding of consciousness as a product of the brain and suggests that consciousness may be a fundamental aspect of the universe. https://t.co/jcBxbxqqEp (View Tweet)

17/ David Bohm's concept of implicate and explicate orders is a profound philosophical idea that challenges our conventional understanding of reality. The implicate order is a hidden level of reality that contains the potential for all things to exist, while the https://t.co/JwdxSPVDsX (View Tweet)

18/ explicate order is the world we experience directly. This idea suggests that there may be more profound, hidden dimensions to the universe that we have yet to discover. Moreover, it also implies we have connections somehow with this implicate order that we can draw on while (View Tweet)

19/ actively and collectively creating the explicate order we commonly perceive as the "real" world. This is very similar to theoretical physicist John Wheeler's thesis that we actively create, as observers, reality in a participatory Universe. https://t.co/SWTNVMMdhi (View Tweet)

20/ A fun movie exploring this and other of Bohm's ideas is "Infinite Potential: The Life and Ideas of David Bohm" Perhaps the universe and our place in it is stranger than even the strangest among us can imagine. https://t.co/UDm47OD9Xc (View Tweet)
