The hologram is the physical model of storage and retrieval of memory for Laszlo and Pribram and the underlying order of the universe for Laszlo and Bohm. |

Karl Pribram, a Stanford University neurophysiologist, proposed a holographic model of the brain. In 1971 he published his classic book, Languages of the Brain, in which he presented his hypothesis of a holographic model of the brain and supporting research evidence.
Donald Bohm, a British physicist and philosopher, proposed that the universe is structured very much like "a kind of giant flowing hologram". In 1980 Bohm published Wholeness and the Implicate Order in which he developed his concept of a holomovement, a holographic model of the universe which explains, in part, the wholeness and non-local nature of the universe. Bohm's holomovement is enfolded in a hierarchy of implicate and explicate orders; these orders unfold into lower-orders, culminating in the explicate order, our everyday tangible reality.
Ervin Laszlo, in his theory of everything (TOE), places memory in the Akashic Field (the A-field), whereas Pribram located memory distributed in a holographic brain,. Therefore, Pribram's holographic memory is local, in the brain, while Laszlo's memory is universal, non-local. Bohm conceptualized two orders or reality, implicate and explicate. Similarly, Laszlo postulates two domains of reality, virtual and manifest. |
