The
Holographic theory of the universe holds that, like a hologram when shattered, all parts contain the whole. Smaller pieces lose resolution, but since the interference pattern actually contains the data, any fragment of the pattern can be used to reconstruct the image at any scale. Fractal like in some ways.
Not only does this theory apply to physical dimensions of scale, it also apparently applies to
information over time. Every piece contains information about all its past and future potential states (in a quantum/string sense).
One could argue (as Bohm and Pribham do) that this has repercussions for 'free will' and/or parallel worlds hypotheses, but one could also argue this has as many repercussions for 'determinism'.
