## Main idea There are two ontological levels of reality. The intricate is a hidden deeper level, from which an explicate order emerges. Things we perceive sensorially exist in the explicate order, but are created an influenced by forced in a implicate order. He believed the weirdness in the behaviour of subatomic particles stems from the fact the they are influenced by unseen forces. I believe this is related to the concept of a [[latent space]], and relevant to [[latent spaces as the interface between AI and humans]]. ## Relation to my work Humans create compressed fundamental representations of objects within our heads in a hidden level, or a latent level. Artificial intelligence also constructs latent spaces, or reduced fundamental representations embedded in relational maps to operate intelligently in observable objects.
