    Now dive down into Math with Penrose and David Bohm with the implicate order.

      Quite independently of the Mathematics, Bohm&#x27;s ideas of &quot;Implicate and Explicate Order&quot; are very interesting and comprehensible by the layman at a high-level - <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Implicate_and_explicate_order" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Implicate_and_explicate_order

      In particular, students of Hindu Philosophical Schools will find lots of parallels here. Bohm was heavily influenced by Jiddu Krishnamurti which inspired his take on quantum theory.

      Bohm also wrote a great book, &quot;Quantum Theory&quot; based on the Copenhagen Interpretation which contains separate parts on &quot;Physical Formulation&quot; and &quot;Mathematical Formulation&quot; of quantum theory.
