In his book Wholeness and the Implicate Order, Bohm uses these notions to describe how the same phenomenon might look different, or might be characterized by different principal factors, in different contexts such as at different scales.[1] The implicate order, also referred to as the "enfolded" order, is seen as a deeper and more fundamental order of reality. In contrast, the explicate or "unfolded" order include the abstractions that humans normally perceive. As he writes:
- In the enfolded [or implicate] order, space and time
are no longer the dominant factors determining the relationships of
dependence or independence of different elements. Rather, an entirely
different sort of basic connection of elements is possible, from which
our ordinary notions of space and time, along with those of separately
existent material particles, are abstracted as forms derived from the
deeper order. These ordinary notions in fact appear in what is called
the "explicate" or "unfolded" order, which is a special and
distinguished form contained within the general totality of all the
implicate orders (Bohm 1980, p. xv).

The above information was derived from a cut and paste of the information posted on wikipedia as of 10/5/2015.
However, the information appears to have changed in the past week as earlier it read Implicit versus Implicate
The witness may refuse to reply to the questions the answers to which may implicate him or her in a crime. This privilege, however, does not cover civil cases
