I did read Quantum Reality by Nick Herbert, a long time ago, but don't recall any special points he may have made.

Bohm answers the EPR paradox with a nod to Niels Bohr, who concluded that particles which are connected at any point in space-time remain an unbroken whole even when they appear to us to be separate entities. From there he explains that the reason things seem separate to us is that we see only the explicate or "unfolded" parts of reality. In his interpretation, the explicate order is only a very small part of all that exists, the rest of which is folded up in the implicate order. If we could see the entirety, Bohm suggests, we would see that all of existence is an unbroken wholeness which has the appearance of being broken because of the way it is folded up.
