''...Number, more exactly, archetypal number, is the key to this research on chaos theory, Chinese pholosophy, and DNA....Walter...goes to the source of life's dynamic pattern in her book. She describes how the DNA spiral of our linear-minded Western science rlates to the analogy-style thinking of the old I Ching. She shows that the genetic code and I Ching function through the same chaos patterns, and that the psychical system of DNA can be translated mathematically into the psychic system of the I Ching. Other scientists...have earlier pointed out an astonishing correspondence between the genetic code and the I Ching. Walter makes reference to this work but adds a new analog perspective....Very concretely and beyond speculation, she lays bare a decodable correlation between amino acids and hexagrams. She shows that biochemical laws and old wisdom are connected through this mathematical pattern. It garbs old Eastern truth in new Western clothing. This chaos supersystem is provable with new terminology and computer graphics....' --Preview
