Quantum theory is introduced as a way to understand the world that is consistent with past and current notions in humanistic geography, while avoiding the errors of determinism and the limitations of positivism. Emphasis is placed on quantum concepts of causality, holism, and locality and their relationship to geographic thought. The implications of Bell's theorem with respect to locality are explored and the dynamic notions of twistor space and implicate order are introduced.
