Quantum Reality Unveiled Through Process and the Implicate Order
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we discuss the possibility of understanding quantum phenomena such as interference and quantum non-locality (i.e. Bohr’s notion of wholeness) by assuming an underlying notion of activity or process rather than the conventional approach which uses fields-ininteraction. By exploiting some ideas of Grassmann, we show how Clifford algebras essential to relativistic electron physics can be generated from first principles. Using Bohm’s notion of implicate order, we show how his notion of unfolding leads to what appears to be Heisenberg’s equation of motion, the algebraic equivalent to the Schrödinger equation. We briefly discuss what this whole approach means for our wider view of reality.

Mind and matter: aspects of the implicate order described through algebra
Bohm has argued that the fundamental problems in quantum mechanics arise because we insist on using the outmoded Cartesian order to describe quantum processes and has proposed that a more coherent account can be developed using new categories based on the implicate order. This requires that we take process as basic and develop an algebra of process. In this paper we discuss some aspects of the ...
متن کاملThe Ordering Process of Narrative in James Joyce's A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man
Regarding the literary historical debates, one of the main concerns of modern historiography is the way of representing the concept of reality within the framework of a coherent narrative, a reality that is only achievable through the process of narrative that is supposed to be constructive and ordering. Therefore, in order to examine this ordering process of narrative in James Joyce's novel, A...
متن کاملNon-commutative Geometry, the Bohm Interpretation and the Mind-Matter Relationship
It is argued that in order to address the mind/matter relationship, we will have to radically change the conceptual structure normally assumed in physics. Rather than fields and/or particles-in-interaction described in the traditional Cartesian order based a local evolution in spacetime, we need to introduce a more general notion of process described by a non-commutative algebra. This will have...
متن کاملBeing, Becoming and the Undivided Universe: A Dialogue between Relational Blockworld and the Implicate Order Concerning the Unification of Relativity and Quantum Theory
In this paper two different approaches to unification will be compared, Relational Blockworld (RBW) and Hiley’s implicate order. Both approaches are monistic in that they attempt to derive matter and spacetime geometry ‘at once’ in an interdependent and background independent fashion from something underneath both quantum theory and relativity. Hiley’s monism resides in the implicate order via ...
متن کاملProcess and the Implicate Order: their relevance to Quantum Theory and Mind
We present a general discussion of how quantum theory may help to bring about a deeper understanding of the mind/matter relationship. We then examine the particular features of Bohm’s ontological interpretation which makes this closer relationship possible. A consequence of all this is that the distinction between mind and matter is further erroded, opening up the possibility of a unified theor...
