Implicate and explicate order

Okay kiddo, so you know how sometimes things are messy and confusing, and sometimes they're neat and organized? Well, philosophers sometimes talk about the world being like that too.

They say there are two different ways we can look at the world. One way is called the "explicate order," which means the organized way that things appear to us when we look at them closely. It's like when you clean up your toys and put them in their places, everything looks tidy and makes sense.

The other way is called the "implicate order," which means a deeper, less organized way that things are connected to each other. It's like when you look at the mess of toys that are all mixed up together, and you start to notice how they connect to each other in different ways, even if it's not very neat or clear.

Some people think that both of these orders are important, and that they're both part of the same bigger picture. Others think that one of these orders is more fundamental than the other, and that it's the key to understanding everything else in the world.

So basically, implicate order is the deeper, less neat way that things are connected, and explicate order is the more organized way that things appear to us when we look closely.
