Geometry of the Implicate Order 21

A theory derived from physics, the theory of the Implicate Order contains an ultraholistic cosmic view; it connects everything with everything else. In principle, any individual element could reveal "detailed information about every other element in the universe." The central underlying theme of Bohm's theory is the "unbroken wholeness of the totality of existence as an undivided flowing movement without borders."*

I am not interested in the deep physics aspect, as much as I am the central idea that, basically, all things are connected. You've heard that phrase in songs, poems, and stories throughout time, and maybe it's a bit trite, but it got me thinking about it along photographic lines. Are things really all connected?

These photos are just a simple way to illustrate one type of connection. They are not meant as literal demonstrations, nor do they have any real relation to the true physics of the idea. They are just mind-joggers, to make you think about the craziness of an idea so imense - that everything, afterall, may be connected in some way.

The lines in the photos are actual geometric connections, not just lines drawn on a photo. How it's done is not important. A grain of sand may connect to another, a rock to something else, etc.

    This is great! I've recently become interested in Bohm and particle interconnectedness and it is great to see such a beautiful representation of this theory. I really like the others in the series as well.
