4 or 64, neither is a good description of how it works outside of protein building. Same as saying that C++ is a 100-word language because it's the size of the ASCII alphabet: correct but not helpful
- thaumasiotes 3y agoThat's only correct in the same sense that it's "correct" to say DNA is a four-word language. It's not "correct in an unhelpful way", it's just incorrect.
- alexey-salmin 3y agoWell so is the 64-word concept if you insist. It only applies to protein transcription which is 1-2% of human DNA, so it's wrong 98% of the time
- pixl97 3y agoI mean, neither really matter. TREE3 shows us that computational complexity explodes beyond all reason even in word limited simple systems with low connectivity.
