For example, quantum physicist David Bohm speculated in his 1954 textbook that there may be some relationship between quantum processes and thought processes.5 He later became convinced of what he called the «
unbroken wholeness» of reality, asserting: «The primary emphasis is now on undivided wholeness, in which the observing instrument is not separable from what is observed.»
Each one «knows» what the other is doing not because they happen to be psychic but because they belong to
the unbroken wholeness of the universe.
Therefore, this notion of
unbroken wholeness seems to be the one common feature which might unite relativity and quantum mechanics, whereas they fall apart on the attempt to describe in detail how things happen.
The implicate order is the proposal of another order which will be suitable for
this unbroken wholeness, not the Cartesian order.
On the other hand, they have in common this notion of
unbroken wholeness.
The essential category is wholeness —
