Tommie Shea lives in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. For years he explored physics, biology, neurology, and other fields, continually testing and tinkering with equations in search of coherence. About a year ago he recognized the need to start from scratch, building a new vision of dimensionality, of existence, and of the universe itself. That vision culminated in the creation of the O(p)MF operator a little over a month ago. Though the equation is new, the drive behind it is not—it is the product of years of persistence and exploration. The Alpha Equation presents nearly 400 worked cases that put this operator to the test, openly logging both successes and failures as part of one ledger.
