Bohm and Hiley's reliance on music as the metaphor to explain the "holomovement" of nonlocal process

 A very clear illustrative example of this enfoldment can b e seen by
considering what takes place when one is listening to music . At a given
moment , a certain note is being played , but a number of the previous notes
are still ' reverberating' in consciousness . Close attention will show that it
is the simultaneous presence and activity of all these related reverberations
that is responsible for the direct and immediately felt sense of movement ,
flow and continuity, as well as for the apprehension of the general meaning
of the music . To hear a set of notes so far apart in time that there is no
consciousness of such reverberation will destroy altogether the sense of a
whole unbroken living movement that gives meaning and force to what is
being heard .
The sense of order in the above experience is very similar to what is
implied in our model of a particle as a sequen ce of successive incoming and
outgoing waves . Thus in section 1 5 . 9 , we saw how a particle trajectory
could be expressed at a given moment in terms of an order of spherical
waves that are present at that moment. H ere the outgoing waves would
correspond to ' reverberations ' , while t he incomi ng waves wou ld correspond
to anticipations which are also evidently present u we listen to the music ) .
The essential p omt 1 s that the w hole movement is contained i n thil way at
any given moment .
Of course not all of it is conscious at any given moment and a great
deal may be u n conscious. B ut even that which is unconscious and vaguely
anticipatory may contain a whole movemen t . The most striking example
of this is M oz ar t saying that the whole composition came to him almost in
a flash and that from there on he wu simply able to play it or to write it .
Thus the w hole was u nfolded rather as the sequence of spheres is unfolded
in our model .

 the Bohm theory [2] has its deeper origins in an algebraic approach originally proposed by Dirac [3]. In his approach, Dirac introduced a special kind of primitive ket, which he called the standard ket.¹ This allowed him to work entirely within the algebraic structure of the operators of the standard theory, the operators now becoming time dependent elements of a non-commutative algebra which describes the unfolding process of the individual. This opens up the possibility of describing the dynamical evolution of an individual system in a non-commutative phase space—a possibility that is usually considered to be ruled out by the uncertainty principle.

from Fermi:

 A nodeless wave function, , vanishing at infinity, can always be viewed as a ground state with energy of some time-independent Schrödinger equation.... Thus in this picture the ground state energy is the quantum potential energy. So we can look upon the quantum potential energy as energy in the vacuum state. In fact it is the energy that has to be present before the particle has any kinetic energy....the Dirac–Bohm vacuum state is not empty but contains the quantum potential energy.

 This blow-up requires energy, and this energy is the quantum potential . We view it as an internal energy associated with the quantum particle, whose total energy is thus given by Note that both and are internal energies, as opposed to which is energy coming from an external source.
