Bohm's QM is a variant of QM, which keeps the Everett many worlds, but
use a very unclear theory of mind, and a very unclear notion of
particle to make one hidden Everett branch of reality "more real" than
the other, and this by reintroducing non-locality in the picture, and
many zombies in the universal wave.
