Bohm’s idea of the implicate order and his pilot-wave interpretation open a holistic access to quantum reality. In our perspective it shows how monadic couplings can shape emergent orders.
The visible world is only the “explicit” surface of a deeper whole. For the Theory of Quantum Monads this means: monadic couplings can be read as expressions of a hidden, holistic order that brings forth emergent structures.
Born in Pennsylvania in 1917, Bohm worked on the Manhattan Project and later taught in Brazil, Israel and the UK. With his pilot-wave theory he offered a deterministic alternative to the Copenhagen interpretation. Later he formulated the idea of the implicate order from which manifest structures emerge.
Bohm’s implicate order inspires the monadic field. In the Quantum Monads theory we make it precise: states and operators in the Hilbert space represent hidden structures that appear as coherence and resonance in the manifest domain. IEQ functionals operationalise this wholeness and connect it with relation / topology (VQM).
Unlike Bohm’s early deterministic models (pilot wave), we emphasise open, probabilistic dynamics (e.g. Lindblad, CPTP channels). The idea of an implicate order remains central: a deeper field that structures visible carriers and interactions — our monadic field.
Bohm’s intuition of a deeper connectedness becomes operational in the monadic field: couplings are modelled as operators whose repeated application produces explicit order. Holism turns into an engineering principle: which topologies (VQM) and coupling strengths generate robust emergent patterns — and which lead to disintegration?
In practice: we select operator families that promote coherent unfolding (weakly non-local chains with short paths) and damp projections that create desynchronisation. The net effect is measured as coherence yield in IEQ and benchmarked against random baselines.
Protocol: time-window averaging of coherence, ablation of single edges/operators, comparison with
random couplings.
Reports list H, channel parameters, time grid and IEQ score – can be passed to XDM for transparent decisions.
In quantum information Bohm’s holism frames entanglement and information flow; in neuroscience / consciousness it connects mind and matter; in sociology it points to collective fields that produce communication and meaning. For Quantum Monads this means: coherence and resonance become measurable in the monadic field.
These works support our XQM formalisation and IEQ as a coherence-based evaluation.

A deeper level from which manifest phenomena are “unfolded”. We model it as state/operator structure in the monadic field.
His pilot-wave version is deterministic; our approach uses open, probabilistic dynamics (Lindblad/CPTP) and evaluates patterns via IEQ.
IEQ measures coherence/resonance of couplings; XDM uses these measurements as a basis for an ethics of field coherence.
