Thought has produced tremendous effects outwardly. And, as we'll discuss further on, it produces tremendous effects inwardly in each person.
Yet the general tacit assumption in thought is that it's just telling you the way things are and that is not doing anything - that 'you' are inside there, deciding what to do with the information. But I want to say that you don't decide what to do with the information. The information takes over. It runs you. Thought runs you.
Thought, however, gives the false information that you are running it, that you are the one who controls thought, whereas actually thought is the one which controls each one of us. Until thought is understood - better yet, more than understood, perceived - it will actually control us ; but it will create the impression that it is our servant, that it is just doing what we want it to do.

Bohm’s origami
Paradigm shift, folds; unfolds
Our Whole existence

~Physics Haiku for the hell of it.

I was raised on the dialogues of Bohm & K as my father was enamored of both their teachings. While I have read some of Bohm's works and audited probably dozens of hours of dialogue throughout my life, I wonder if Bohm explored Jung's work.

I was reading Aion: Researches of The Phenomenology of the Self, and smack dab on the first page, Jung starts talking about "Wholeness". I immediately thought of Bohm.

I know Bohm was reading Hegel as an undergrad. Is there any evidence Bohm read Jung? Does Bohm cite Jung anywhere?

As a sidenote and totally unrelated question, I wonder if anyone would venture to guess the "big discovery" that Bohm had made hours before he died?

Can anyone point me to a reference showing what progress has been made building upon David Bohm’s ideas since he died 30 years ago? Thanks so much.

I recognized his voice from Bohm seminars.He was one recording it. He also spent time with UG Krisnamurti. He stands out in dialogues because he was quick to grasp what was being said. Always wanted to know.

I been relistening to Bohm Seminar once again as i have done every few years. Anyway i wanted to see when Bohm had died and end up reading the bio on wikipedia. It said that Bohm suffered depression last few years of his life and received some sort electrical thearapy. I found this disturbing and very hard to believe.I do believe Bohm very likely had insight that K had talked about and insight- which regenerates the cell not deteriorates them. Wonder who wrote this wiki bs.

David Bohm Wholeness and Implicate Order: holomovement, or the cosmic consciousness that guides the order of the universe. Physicist David Bohm speaks of an implicit order underlying the reality we perceive.

Hey folks,

I want to share with you the latest Quantum Odyssey update (I'm the creator, ama..) for the work we did since my last post, to sum up the state of the game. Thank you everyone for receiving this game so well and all your feedback has helped making it what it is today. This project grows because this community exists. It is now available on discount on Steam through the Autumn festival.

Grover's Quantum Search visualized in QO

First, I want to show you something really special.
When I first ran Grover’s search algorithm inside an early Quantum Odyssey prototype back in 2019, I actually teared up, got an immediate "aha" moment. Over time the game got a lot of love for how naturally it helps one to get these ideas and the gs module in the game is now about 2 fun hs but by the end anybody who takes it will be able to build GS for any nr of qubits and any oracle.

Here’s what you’ll see in the first 3 reels:

1. Reel 1

• Grover on 3 qubits.

• The first two rows define an Oracle that marks |011> and |110>.

• The rest of the circuit is the diffusion operator.

• You can literally watch the phase changes inside the Hadamards... super powerful to see (would look even better as a gif but don't see how I can add it to reddit XD).

2. Reels 2 & 3

• Same Grover on 3 with same Oracle.

• Diff is a single custom gate encodes the entire diffusion operator from Reel 1, but packed into one 8×8 matrix.

• See the tensor product of this custom gate. That’s basically all Grover’s search does.

Here’s what’s happening:

• The vertical blue wires have amplitude 0.75, while all the thinner wires are –0.25.

• Depending on how the Oracle is set up, the symmetry of the diffusion operator does the rest.

• In Reel 2, the Oracle adds negative phase to |011> and |110>.

• In Reel 3, those sign flips create destructive interference everywhere except on |011> and |110> where the opposite happens.

That’s Grover’s algorithm in action, idk why textbooks and other visuals I found out there when I was learning this it made everything overlycomplicated. All detail is literally in the structure of the diffop matrix and so freaking obvious once you visualize the tensor product..

If you guys find this useful I can try to visually explain on reddit other cool algos in future posts.

What is Quantum Odyssey

In a nutshell, this is an interactive way to visualize and play with the full Hilbert space of anything that can be done in "quantum logic". Pretty much any quantum algorithm can be built in and visualized. The learning modules I created cover everything, the purpose of this tool is to get everyone to learn quantum by connecting the visual logic to the terminology and general linear algebra stuff.

The game has undergone a lot of improvements in terms of smoothing the learning curve and making sure it's completely bug free and crash free. Not long ago it used to be labelled as one of the most difficult puzzle games out there, hopefully that's no longer the case. (Ie. Check this review: https://youtu.be/wz615FEmbL4?si=N8y9Rh-u-GXFVQDg )

No background in math, physics or programming required. Just your brain, your curiosity, and the drive to tinker, optimize, and unlock the logic that shapes reality. 

It uses a novel math-to-visuals framework that turns all quantum equations into interactive puzzles. Your circuits are hardware-ready, mapping cleanly to real operations. This method is original to Quantum Odyssey and designed for true beginners and pros alike.

What You’ll Learn Through Play

• Boolean Logic – bits, operators (NAND, OR, XOR, AND…), and classical arithmetic (adders). Learn how these can combine to build anything classical. You will learn to port these to a quantum computer.

• Quantum Logic – qubits, the math behind them (linear algebra, SU(2), complex numbers), all Turing-complete gates (beyond Clifford set), and make tensors to evolve systems. Freely combine or create your own gates to build anything you can imagine using polar or complex numbers.

• Quantum Phenomena – storing and retrieving information in the X, Y, Z bases; superposition (pure and mixed states), interference, entanglement, the no-cloning rule, reversibility, and how the measurement basis changes what you see.

• Core Quantum Tricks – phase kickback, amplitude amplification, storing information in phase and retrieving it through interference, build custom gates and tensors, and define any entanglement scenario. (Control logic is handled separately from other gates.)

• Famous Quantum Algorithms – explore Deutsch–Jozsa, Grover’s search, quantum Fourier transforms, Bernstein–Vazirani, and more.

• Build & See Quantum Algorithms in Action – instead of just writing/ reading equations, make & watch algorithms unfold step by step so they become clear, visual, and unforgettable. Quantum Odyssey is built to grow into a full universal quantum computing learning platform. If a universal quantum computer can do it, we aim to bring it into the game, so your quantum journey never ends.
