 Stein's Life and Career--by Linda Wagner-Martin
After Edith Sitwell arranged for Stein to lecture in Oxford and Cambridge in 1926, the Hogarth Press published her lectures, Composition as Explanation, and she began to feel as if the ‘gloire' she had longed for might be possible.
Her incorporation of humor, sound, sex, and bawdiness, and unpredictable locutions and structures--always executed with the heightened consciousness of the observed performer--made her a pioneer of postmodernism as well as a central figure of modernism.
Stein's papers are at the Beinecke Library, American Literature Collection, Yale University; the Bancroft Library, University of California, Berkeley; and the Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center, University of Texas, Austin.

 Irving Stein's The Concept of Object as the Foundation of Physics Review
Stein insists that his new model of a quantum ontology is objective, yet midway in his incremental development of the model, he introduces a wave mime without acknowledging it as such.
Stein describes this act of faith thus, "It is here...in the resolution of this paradox, that we fortuitously turn our backs on classical physics [SOM] and take the leap into quantum mechanics, from an object defined by either an analytic or random walk function to an entirely different kind of object." Page 58, section 55.
Finally Stein tells us that the 'time' of a quantum object may only be determined by its space 'proxy.' At this stage in the evolution of our quantum object, Stein still views the 'proxy' of the quantum object as a classical object.
