To the extent that ...
Hi
Although they (Jahn and Dunne) do not identify themselves with the holographic model (and their theory does in fact differ from Bohm's thinking in several significant ways), they do recognize the overlap. "To the extent that we're talking about a rather basic reliance on wave mechanical behavior, there is some commonality between what we're postulating and the holographic idea," says Jahn. "It gives to consciousness the capacity to function in a wave mechanical sense and thereby to avail itself, one way or another, of all of space and time.
Does it mean they don't talk much about relying on wave mechanical behavior? Or maybe they talk a lot about relying on this wave mechanical behavior? I'm just not sure what that 1st part of the sentence means?
