=== A common grounding for consciousness and matter ===

[[Image:Hersenen.png|thumb|150px|rightupright=0.6|[[Karl H. Pribram]]'s research suggests that memories may not be localized in specific regions of brains]]

The implicate order represents the proposal of a general [[metaphysics|metaphysical]] concept in terms of which it is claimed that [[matter]] and [[consciousness]] might both be understood, in the sense that it is proposed that both matter and consciousness: (i) enfold the structure of the whole within each region, and (ii) involve continuous processes of enfoldment and unfoldment. For example, in the case of matter, entities such as atoms may represent continuous enfoldment and unfoldment which manifests as a relatively stable and autonomous entity that can be observed to follow a relatively well-defined path in spacetime. In the case of consciousness, Bohm pointed toward evidence presented by [[Karl H. Pribram|Karl Pribram]] that [[memories]] may be enfolded within every region of the [[brain]] rather than being localized (for example, in particular regions of the brain, cells, or atoms).
