Summary
AI-generated from the abstractDavid Bohm expanded his quantum mechanical model by introducing super implicate orders that can be iterated infinitely. With each implication step, wholeness increases, defined here as an additional dimension x5. The total time and energy intervals of these steps are finite, leading to a quantum Zeno effect. This effect may cause objects at higher-order levels—such as collective psychic, archetypal, spiritual contents, mathematics, logic, and natural laws—to evolve very slowly.

Abstract
David Bohm extended his model of quantum mechanics to include super implicate orders that can be iterated an infinite number of times. With each implication step, the measure of wholeness increases, which is introduced here as an additional dimension x5. The sum total of the time as well as the energy intervals of the single steps should be finite, from which a quantum Zeno effect can be derived. This could lead to the fact that the objects of higher-order levels, like collective psychic, archetypal and spiritual contents as well as mathematics, logic, and natural laws are strongly slowed down in their evolution.
