Quaternion Organon

Two men buy motorcyles and hit the road after being fired by a company in the midst of downsizing. Looking for meaning in their middle age, these two seekers join up with an odd self-help group headed by a beautiful woman who begins their journey to enlightenment. Part mystical fiction and part fact-based explanation of the universe and the world, George Hamner’s funky first novel consolidates theories and philosophies from such great thinkers as Ouspensky, Newton, Einstein, and Suzuki, among others, delivering a message encompassing Jesus, the Egyptian pyramids, Quantum Field Theory, Mu, and everything in-between. Hamner named his book as the next in line and the natural successor to Aristotle’s Organon, Bacon’s Novum Organum, and Ouspensky’s Tertium Organum.

From Publishers Weekly

Fiction gets educational and sometimes breathtakingly pedanticin George Hamner's novel cum meditation on the nature of the universe, Quarternion Organon. After two middle-agers get downsized, they embark on a search for life's meaning with the help of a bizarre bunch of self-helpers in a plot that's barely discernable between discussions of quantum field theory, quotes from Ouspensky's A New Model of the Universe and monologues of the Holy Cow! I just figured out something.... Jesus would need to borrow a big dose of Cosmic Sector life units' to reinject his cells with the life force variety.
