Bohm's book discusses the concepts of "level of order" and "degree of order," highlighting their interrelationship. The degree of order refers to the complexity and interconnectedness of systems, while the level of order pertains to the organization and functionality within those systems. When multiple subsystems are connected to form a larger system, a new global order emerges, representing a higher degree of order. However, if the level of order remains low, the system may still be chaotic and ineffective. To achieve functionality, both the degree and level of order must be elevated. This analogy extends to the global context, where despite a higher degree of order among nations and religions, the low level of order leads to persistent disarray. The discussion suggests that achieving a harmonious global system requires both a high degree and level of order, as emphasized in Bohm's work.
