On the Representations of Genetic Code by Dark Nuclear Strings in TGD Framework

Abstract

The mainstream view of evolution as a random process suggests that genetic code is pure accident. The author is of the view that something so fundamental as life cannot be based on pure randomness. TGD has led to several proposals for genetic code, its emergence and various realizations based on purely mathematical considerations or inspired by physical ideas. One can argue that genetic code is realized in several manners just like bits can be represented in very many manners. Two especially interesting proposals have recently emerged. The first proposal is based on geometric model of music harmony involving icosahedral and tetrahedral geometries. The second proposal has two variants based on the concept of dark nuclear strings: The original version maps codons to dark nucleons and the latest version maps codons to dark 3-nucleon states. Both models predict correctly the numbers of DNA codons coding for a given amino-acid but the latter model is favoured by some recent findings which suggest pairing between DNA nucleotides and dark nucleons. Further, the counterparts of RNA,tRNA, and amino-acids are predicted.
