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.

Highlights

BOHMS QUANTUM POTENTIAL AND THE IMPLICATE ORDER In the last 20 years, Bohm's quantum mechanics has gained renewed attention in expert circles because it represents a realistic alternative to the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum theory and has been confirmed many times by applications in specific fields, opening new perspectives (1)
Bohm’s account of quantum mechanics replaces the complementarity of particles and waves propagated by Bohr and Heisenberg, with the simultaneous coexistence of an explicit order consisting of the physical particles and an implicate order consisting of a wave function
The Zeno effect may be involved in determining events at two levels in Bohm's model of super implicate orders

Summary

THE QUANTUM ZENO EFFECT IN THE DEPTHS OF ITERATION

The repeated observation of a quantum state slows down its temporal evolution according to the temporal density of observation This process, known as the quantum Zeno effect (14), leads to a slowing down of the development of the corresponding layer of the underlying reality with increasing n and deeper iteration steps of the implicate orders. On the higher levels of super implicate orders, this can mean that continuous observation or monitoring of a process leads to it behaving according to the logic of classical physics, i.e. two-valued logic, while processes that are not continuously observed can exhibit quantum phenomena of an acausal and non-local nature.
