Holomovement

Holomovement is a metaphysical concept invented by David Bohm describing his view of the "fabric of reality", implying "undivided wholeness in flowing movement" http://skywebs.com/earthportals/Portal_Messenger/bohm.html.

According to this viewpoint, holomovement is the underlying flow (of possibly not yet defined qualities related to thought, matter and energy) in which reality (or the possible realities) can be experienced.

The term "holomovement" constitutes a double reference to:

• holism, the view that a whole cannot be reduced to its constituent parts (a view Bohm insists applies to the Implicate Order), and
• holography, Bohm's favorite analogy for the relationship between Implicate and Explicate Orders.

In standard photography, each section of film apparently only stores information about the section of image it corresponds to. However, in holographic photography, sections do not correspond in this way. Rather, information about the entire reproduction is stored across the entire surface of the holographic film (effectively, what is stored at each locality on the film is that particular small area's "view" of the phase and intensity of the wavefront reflected from the object). Using Bohm's terminology, the holographic film along with the light cast on it represent the Implicate Order while the hologram represents the Explicate Order. Holomovement would be the act of casting the light on the film to produce the hologram.
