Dimension-by-Dimension Evidence
What each persona's writings reveal about their stance on each of the six dimensions.
Time
David Bohm
Linear cosmological time, deterministically governed by the quantum potential.
Space
David Bohm
Non-local — entanglement is irreducibly non-local in the pilot-wave interpretation.
Matter
David Bohm
Substantival particles guided by non-local quantum potential.
Observer
David Bohm
Plural physical observers. Mediated knowledge through measurement. Cosmic-ordering: the implicate order as the underlying generative structure.
Energy
David Bohm
Standard physics; the quantum potential carries active information.
Information
David Bohm
Active information is fundamental and conserved at the cosmic scale.
Internal Tensions
Where each persona's working synthesis strains against itself.
Bohm's interpretation was almost entirely ignored by mainstream quantum-mechanical practice from 1952 to 1980 (Bell's theorem partially rehabilitated it). His later collaboration with Krishnamurti and the implicate-order metaphysics divided his readers between physicists who accept the technical work but find the philosophy embarrassing, and philosophical readers who embrace the wholeness register at the cost of technical engagement.
