Some Remarks on the Evolution of Bohm ’ s Proposals for an Alternative to Standard Quantum Mechanics

In this paper an account of Bohm’s own attitude to his early papers on an alternative interpretation to quantum theory is presented. He has made it clear that it was never his intention to return to a deterministic mechanical theory, rather it was an attempt to show that an alternative was possible and, in itself, may provide clues for further developments. From the earliest he felt that a more radical approach was needed, an approach that depended on his notion of structure process. In such an approach the particle must not be regarded as some a priori given immutable entity, but must take its dynamical properties from the environment in which it finds itself so that the notion of wholeness, so important to both Bohr and Bohm, could be a fundamental part of the description. It will be argued that the essential feature of his later ideas of the implicate order were already present in his early work in “Causality and Chance” written shortly after his original proposals.
