MATTER OVER MIND: COSMOS, CHAOS, AND CURIOSITY is on AMAZON!

Matter Over Mind begins with a thought-provoking journey through the Cosmos to illustrate the startling contrast between nature's chaotic but rich processes, and the human mind's organized but underperforming habits. This book reveals how humanity could achieve even greater heights if we allow ourselves to rethink how we think.

Chaos theory, which is wonderfully explained in this book is a foundational recipe in nature and large group behavior. Abstract thinking is the opposite force that leads to frustrating inconsistencies in society and even limitations in technology. Viewing the world through both lenses illuminates the deeper dynamics of the world and a better way forward for humanity.

About

Elaine Walker is an electronic musician with a deep interest in visual math, physics, neuroscience, longevity, and the future of humanity on Earth and beyond.

She is a renowned microtonal music composer. She has had a long and varied career in electronic music, both in academia and freelance. Her Masters thesis at New York University explored chaos dynamics as an organic tool to generate and "conduct" music. She was the Director of the DJ and Electronic Music Programs at SCC in Scottsdale, AZ, until 2017. Prior to working at SCC, she was a music editor for the Pokemon cartoon for several years.

She is the author of a non-fiction physics/philosophy book, Matter Over Mind: Cosmos, Chaos, and Curiosity. It illuminates the deeper dynamics of the world and a better way forward for humanity.

At the age of 50, and with no formal math training, Elaine realized she had a gift for visualizing mathematics, and her first math paper was accepted less than 2 years later in the Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society (on arXiv.org) with her partner Bruce Olberding.

Elaine has regularly volunteered for the NewSpace community, promoting the idea of humans living in space. She spent five summers in the High Arctic on the NASA Haughton-Mars Project. She is a proponent of superlongevity and a cryopreservation member of Alcor.
