During the late 1970's and during the 1980's, numerous books and articles 
asserted relations between biological structures and information theory.

A comprehensive survey and synthesis by James G. Miller, "Living Systems", 
became a "Bible" for many systems theory practitioners, such as computer 
programmers and other system's designers.   It is clear from your postings that 
you would substantially benefit from a careful study of the MATHEMATICS of this 
book. 

A second book, published in the late 1970's (as I recall), attempted to 
calculate the rate of information flow during transcription and translation.  
These equations appear to directly contradict many of your theses.  At the 
moment, I can not recall either the author or the title but it should be easy 
to find via Google.

Finally, in follow-up to Ben's concise view of your habits, I would suppose 
that you will reply to this message with a politically correct thank-you note. 

Your habits are clear.

Cheers
