It is totally independent of the actual symbols on the Buga sphere. I'm sure whoever created this hoax is laughing hysterically at the mental gymnastics of everyone who was fooled by it. Anyway, here is the complete table. It does offer some clues to abiogenesis in that the code is organized to minimize the description length to speed up the evolution of ribosomes. The second base alone selects most of the chemical properties of the amino acid (acidic, basic, neutral, or hydrophobic) and the third base is often not used. The earliest proteins may have used only 4 of the 20 amino acid found today. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_and_RNA_codon_tables ------------------------------------------ Artificial General Intelligence List: AGI Permalink: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/T1ff34dc69e862fc1-M5fb43fdd5081c85d03d2175c Delivery options: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/subscription
