Re:

the evolutinary code dynamics, should include multi dimensional codes. for example , a code that sets up a electric circuit, that now depends on magnetism to find result. assume the dna code codes for proteins. proteins fold and code for a three dimensional topology, that then codes for weak force interaction. , even if one dimension of the code is broken, you have nothing

my class started today. there seem to be brilliant new students.

i wonder to what extent natural selection can be seen as "code breaking" more generally? there is often an arms race between predator and prey (or between parasite and host).

the prey enhances its code by augmenting anti-predator behavior.

the predator has to evolve to break the new code.

this arms race is a selective force for discovery in biology.

it could be all-encompassing.
