Algebraic and Geometric Representations of the Genetic Code

Abstract

Algebraic and geometric representations of the genetic code are used to show their functions for coding amino acids. The algebra is a 64-part vector quaternion combination, and the related geometry is based on the structure of the regular icosidodecahedron. An almost perfect pattern suggesting that this is a biologically significant way of representing the genetic code that may lead to a deeper understanding of a relationship between geometry and teleological life principles of complex self-organization.
