The enfolded order is a vast range of potentiality, which can be unfolded. The way it is unfolded depends on many factors. The way we think and so on is among those factors. The implicate order implies mutual participation of everything with everything. Nothing is complete in itself, and its full being is realized only in that participation. The implicate order provides an image of how this participation might take place in physics in various ways.

Meditations on doing nothing
Although I always want to do things— Incredible things, unspeakable things, Things terrible, noble, sublime, and godlike, Things that could only be done On the horizon of the end of the world; Where all humanity would be condensed in a single action For the glory and eternity of my spirit and my spirit alone,
This fanatical fire collapses under its own weight; Consumed in liminal spaces, it goes nova in the realm of dreams, Ultimately eclipsed by the pressing, unremitting mundane: Everyday and Everyman. And the conflagration is seen by the world only as a distant light, A dim and dying ember: these words.
Then, with my head still warm, I begin to think of the lilies of the fields: “How they grow, they toil not, neither do they spin”, And how the spinning is done entirely by the world itself Without any eagerness or laid out plan, But manifesting the implicate order.
And I think of the Way, and how everything is perfect, A perfection that brings tears to my eyes (There is ecstasy in understanding this, And I'm ravished by this thought): This world does not demand more fire To bring about anything—it has enough To create and destroy, freely, aggressively and joyously,
With no need of any flames breaking out, In a beautiful, majestic and terrifying parade, From the towering stone walls of my mind.
Ocean of Energy According to quantum theory, [physicist David] Bohm says that space is not a vacuum but a vast ocean of energy. The ocean of energy is not in space-time; it is in the implicate order and is unmanifest. The manifest portion of the ocean of energy is matter, which can be seen as a ripple on the ocean. Bohm then postulates that, based on quantum formalisms, there may be still more oceans of energy that enfold the implicate order.
Bridging Science and Spirit by Norman Friedman and Fred Alan Wolfe Ph.D.
As the plant is formed, maintained and dissolved by the exchange of matter and energy with its environment, at which point can we say that there is a sharp distinction between what is alive and what is not? Clearly, a molecule of carbon dioxide that crosses a cell boundary into a leaf does not suddenly 'come alive' nor does a molecule of oxygen suddenly 'die' when it is released to the atmosphere. Rather, life itself has to be regarded as belonging in some sense to a totality, including plant and environment.
David Bohm, Wholeness and the Implicate Order
The discussion based on the hologram provides only a limited view of the implicate order because it is based on a classical treatment of the transformations within a light wave. To obtain a deeper and more extensive understanding of the implicate order, it is necessary to start from quantum mechanical field theory. This is, in essence, the most basic and general form of the modern quantum theory that is available to date. Such a step will lead to an extension of the implicate order, called the superimplicate order. This is much subtler than the implicate order and goes deeper. In addition, it is capable of further extensions in ways that go beyond quantum theory altogether.
David Bohm and F. David Peat, Science, Order, and Creativity: A Dramatic New Look at the Creative Roots of Science and Life
Our overall approach has thus brought together questions of the nature of the cosmos, of matter in general, of life, and of consciousness. All of these have been considered to be projections of a common ground. This we may call the ground of all that is, at least in so far as this may be sensed and known by us, in our present phase of unfoldment of consciousness. Although we have no detailed perception or knowledge of this ground it is still in a certain sense enfolded in our consciousness, in the ways in which we have outlined, as well as perhaps in other ways that are yet to be discovered.
