      A new bio-complexity paper

      A new paper by Castro-Chavez has been 'published' on the Bio-Complexity website, the Discovery Institute's 'peer-reviewed' journal.
      For more details, go here.

      Alternatively, read the following precis:

      By coloring the 64 amino-acid and stop codons onto the faces of a tetrahedron according to the key principles of balance, symmetry and arbitrariness, and adhering strictly to a completely unnecessary numerological scheme, I have produced a trivially-improved-upon asymmetric arrangement in which codons for the same amino-acid are scattered haphazardly. My arrangement is less useful than previous attempts, and has no significance that I can think of.

      Fernando Castro-Chavez

      The final tetrahedral representation presented here is therefore offered not as a demonstration of any new facts, but rather as an application of existing facts, the potential significance being that this way of organizing them may provide new insights.

      or

      "I have this cool idea for a pet rock."
      What the world thinks the most valuable exhibition of the Dao is to be found in books. But books are only a collection of words. Words have what is valuable in them - what is valuable in words is the ideas they convey. But those ideas are a sequence of something else - and what that something else is cannot be conveyed by words. When the world, because of the value which it attaches to words, commits them to books, that for which it so values them may not deserve to be valued - because that which it values is not what is really valuable. Thus it is that what we look at and can see is (only) the outward form and colour, and what we listen to and can hear is (only) names and sounds. Alas! that men of the world should think that form and colour, name and sound, should be sufficient to give them the real nature of the Dao. The form and colour, the name and sound, are certainly not sufficient to convey its real nature; and so it is that 'the wise do not speak and those who do speak are not wise.' How should the world know that real nature?

      In my experiences with C-C, that is about what I expect.
