Dear Russell,
the Peat book seems to be on the physicist's side, just as the
Hiley-book (posthumus D.Bohm co-authored) which even pictures DB
close to his 1952 image when his idea started to eliminate the
differences of QM and Relativity...
I have a - sort of - high level science-reportage: by Reneé Weber:
"Dialogues with Scientists and Sages" (Arkana, 1986) with a
reasonable chapter with Bohm - also his references towards
Krishnamurti and others.
I cannot activate my old computer's stuff on a discussion list
stuff called:
'Friends of David Bohm' (early 90s) with lots of details of his
stuff.
My idea was the connection to Bishop Nicolaus de Cusa's 3 part
world (implicare, explicare, complicare - where I figured the 3rd
one as math)
base for his protegé: Copernicus, saving the latter from the
Inquisition -
the way I deduced it from "Wholeness...", a tortuous 2 decade path.
I think the 'Explicate Order' is our physical-world figment, while
from the 'Implicate' I erased the 'Order' in my mind: no knowledge
about that part so to speak. An 'order' would be exaggerated.
After changing into a (similarly heretic?) Rosenite, the Bohm
details faded.
My agnostic views give me the peace of mind in an extended "I dunno".
I have a vague idea how to figure the infinity of the complexity
(the one(?) beyond our conventional science 'model' of the world)
- but only in terms of our knowable items - no hint how the 'beyond
model' may be structured (if at all) and of what kind elements.

I've just been reading a book that I procured at a school fete called
"Science, Order and Creativity", by David Bohm and David Peat.
I had read "Wholeness and the implicate order" in my youth, which on
the whole was confusing and unsatisfying. In many ways, this book is
too. Yet, I can't quite shake the feeling when reading that there
must
be some connection between Bohm's implicate order and Hofstaedter's
strange loops, and so that he might be onto something important for
an
understanding of creativity and consciousness. But his books leave me
unsatisfied and hungry. For one thing, there is too little contact
with the mathematics of QM.
Does anyone know of a good introduction to Bohm's ideas? It's clear
I'm
not going to get it from Bohm himself.
Cheers
