The notion of implicate and explicate orders emphasizes the primacy of structure and process over individual objects. The latter are seen as mere approximations of an underlying process. In this approach, quantum particles and other objects are understood to have only a limited degree of stability and autonomy.<ref>P. Pylkkänen, B. J. Hiley, I.

Bohm believed that the weirdness of the behavior of quantum particles is caused by unobserved forces, maintaining that space and time might actually be derived from an even deeper level of objective reality. In the words of [[F. David Peat]], Bohm considered that what we take for reality are "surface phenomena, explicate forms that have temporarily unfolded out of an underlying implicate order"." That is, the implicate order is the ground from which reality [[emergence|emerges]].<ref name="Carvallo2013">F. David Peat, ''Non-locality in nature and cognition'', pp.&nbsp;297–311.
