"Our thinking process should be an extension of perception..." (04:50):
Bohm's 1965 book "The Special Theory of Relativity" has an appendix called "Physics and Perception" (0:30) in which he explicitly refers to and uses Gibson's studies of perception as a basis for his discussion of interaction in physics and measurement. David Bohm's approach to quantum mechanics developed the first testable version of the famous EPR (Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen) thought experiment on nonlocality, quantum entanglement, and quantum correlation which was first experimentally demonstrated in 1979 by Alain Aspect with quantum correlations at the macro scale (~30m). Gibson's influence on the development of physics has thus been quite profound. Michael Turvey's lectures refer to EPR and the facts of nonlocality and are worth comparison. In this segment, Bohm discusses the basis of perception in terms of what Gibson would have referred to as mathematical "higher order invariants" or..."information" - what is extracted or emerges through sufficient exploration and sampling of the ambient array.
