Line 6:
In another analogy, Bohm asks us to consider a pattern produced by making small cuts in a folded piece of paper and then, literally, unfolding it. Widely separated elements of the pattern are, in actuality, produced by the same original cut in the folded piece of paper. Here the cuts in the folded paper represent the Implicate Order and the unfolded pattern represents the Explicate Order.
The term ''holomovement'' is a double reference to (a) [[holism]], the idea that individual parts cannot be coherently considered as distinct from a whole, and (b) [[holography]], Bohm's favorite analogy for relating his ideas. In standard photography, each section of film only stores information about the section of image it corresponds to. However, in holographic photography, sections do not correspond in this way. Rather, [[information]] about the entire reproduction is stored at every point in the holographic film. Effectively, what is stored is the particular point's view of the object being reproduced. Here the holographic film represents the Intricate Order and the hologram represents the Extricate Order.
Although holography is not quite a holistic phenomenon (i.e., we can still differentiate what contributions are being made to the hologram by the different sections of the film) some, including Bohm, feel that this analogy helps one to understand the holistic nature of the proposed Implicate Order.
Many, along with Bohm himself, have seen strong connections between his ideas and ideas from the East. Some proponents of [[new age| alternative religions]] (such as [[shamanism]]) claim a connection with their belief systems as well.
