The Blueprint



Nuclear DNA. Eternal polymers and all the chemistry. Majestic carbon, in vitro.

C:H:O:N:S | amino acids as protein building blocks. Insulin as amino mix. Tape sequence analysis. Turing machine. Thymine facing adenine, guanine versus cytosine. Perpetual oppositions. Redundancy in service of O(1) replication.

Infinite string matching. Palindromic nature. DNA -> protein translations. Organic lookup tables. Bill Evans, Waltz for Debby. Bitter frost of the expectant spring. Error-Correcting codes ? Calling Shannon ... .

The low-hanging fruit. Heraclitus redux.
