Looks like today is the last day to get my words in before the ringing of the

Who says evolution is always monotonically increasing along progress? Just look
at peacocks and humans.

I'm re-reading Godel, Escher, Bach and there is an old passage about whether a
written page can think, w.r.t. the generative musical rules of one of Bach's
compositions. Is this perhaps an extension?

Are you basically coding each of the amino acids as a specific letter in the
alphabet? If so, how did you choose the coding or is there a standard scheme
generally accepted in chemistry? One interesting point is that although
connected in chains, are proteins 3 dimensional, such that many of their
properties are derived from their 3D shape and the self-connections of the
chain? If we were to reverse the metaphor, perhaps we could create a human
language that was 3D, such that meaning could be derived along multiple paths
of script instead of just linearly. Almost like speaking in crossword puzzles.

Cheers,
Brian
