The Elements of DNA Codons in the Game LEJEND

 

Here we see the four elements that mix to create the Amino Acids of DNA Codons. 

C - Water - Blue T - Fire - Orange

Cytosine  - -  - - Thymine  - -  —-

2 Broken lines         One Broken one solid

A - Earth - Green G - Air - Yellow

Adenine    —- - - Guanine   —- —-

One Broken One Solid Two Solid Lines

This shows us that C and G are opposites and T and A are opposites. 

Four elements from which to choose three letters, this makes it possible to create 64 different DNA Codons.

4 x 4 x 4 = 64 Variations on a Theme of DNA 

In this game now called LEJEND you have to create a pattern with as few triangles in it as possible that contains all 64 DNA codons. They can be read forward and backward e.g. TGC can also be CGT. Palindromes only count as one as they read the same both ways e.g. TGT. 

These DNA Codons once they become a triplet make amino acids as follows….

Arganine, Asparagine, Alanine, Aspartic Acid, Cysteine, Glutamic Acid, Glutamine, Glycine, Histidine, Isoleucine, Leucine, Lysine, METhionine (Start), Phenylalanine, Proline, Serine, STOP, Threonine, Tryptophan, Tyrosine,Valine. (21 variations) 

So the aim of the game is to use as few triangles as possible to make up a pattern that contains 64 different DNA Codons without repeating a codon twice. Any number that contains all 64 codons is a win but to get down to the very least in which the game can be completed is the goal. It has been determined that 34 triangles is the very least you can expect to use. So good luck with making that pattern yourself from these DNA Codons below…….these have been reduced down from 64 to exclude any read backwards …..so TGC and CGT, we lose one of them because otherwise they would duplicate a codon. 64 become 40. Have fun with LEJEND. X

The Archimedes Spiral and the 180* Tritone Aspect

 

The Tritone or the villain of the piece. The 180* aspect or Opposition. We see here in the 8 octaves a Triton from T to G can only go back to T which is in the next octave so NO DNA Codons can be created here. It colours all the circles red from the colour associated with the opposition. It has 6 semitones. 

Here we see the six opposition lines all of which cut through the centre and make sure that there is no peace to be found there with all the clashing intense sounds of the Tritone. 

The unstable sounds of the Tritone create dissonance, tense restless energy, a.k.a. The Devil in Music. Diablos. Blues and jazz often use tritones to create suspense, a menacing atmosphere, great for psychological thrillers, intense, unstable a sense of unresolved issues. The ear cannot find a place to rest here it creates an itch that must be adapted by trying to expand outwards or inwards anything to get to a different sound 2 notes pulling in opposite directions that just want to find some peace. The Simpsons music is diablos well that contains two little devils in one place. In more ways than one Tritones are disorientating. 

The push me pull me concept …… a tug of war feeling. Like mirrors that do not like what they see so pull away. This hard aspect requires a compromise. It wont come easily but finding that ability to see the other persons perspective and learning to integrate shows a maturity that only comes with time.  Blame, its not me its you, never being aware of the other persons needs only your own. Me Me Me only I count, no wonder the Devils name comes into it. Its a revolving door eventually if you can learn to share first its you then me. If we could learn to adjust by pulling one side over a little out of the centre then perhaps that ball of fire would lose its power and indeed some peace could be found. I would avoid adding this to a piece of music whenever possible.

As a 1/7 Nine Star Ki TGC DNA Codon I have a Tritone in my triangle T to G is a Tritone…..then G to C is a Perfect 4th and C back to T in the new octave is a Minor 2nd…….perhaps pulling into that green perfect 4th could help in this situation. Enjoy your thinking. X 

The Archimedes Spiral and the 150* Quincunx Aspect

 

Here we have the 150* Quincunx Aspect - 5 semitones apart - we can clearly see the pentagon shape within it. Known as the Perfect 4th. Associated with the colour green and the number five. 

This looked as though it would have more than one Aspect shape but it doesn’t. The outer octave starts at T moves to A and finally G. The second row starts C moves to T but in coming back to close with the next T it actually moves into the next octave so does not apply so the only true aspect shape from this number is TAG.

TAG - Hex 50 - S/N direction - 4/9 Nine Star Ki - Aspect Shape one of the Large size Magicians - STOP Amber Amino Acid - C F A# - Planets Jupiter and Mars - 150* x 150* x 60* - Magician. 

For some reason I want to call this the Mother Mary sound it is associated with Virgo - Virgin birth - and somehow I feel it connects to her. 210 aspects may appear the same but they are not 150 degrees has questions that need to be answered whereas 210 degrees has found the answers. 

The 150* aspect requires constant adjustment just as you find one answer another question appears. There is no element connection nor modality which explains the tension to some extent. Until you engage with the 150* question there is no tension, the answers may feel they have come out of the ether but come they must. An inventive aspect with original ideas a plenty. An answer may be forthcoming but if it is not the perfect answer and you feel something intangible but better might be out there is it not going to be the answer and the question persists. I guess you could say when the answer is ideal then enough is done. The Quintessence is the result. Sometimes stable sometimes unstable but authoritative and solid creates a pure acoustic clarity of peace, security, strength. It needs answers to release the tension and dissonance, it needs to drop to a more relaxed tone to please the ear. Yearning is a word I would use for the Quincunx. 

The Archimedes Spiral and the 120* Trine Aspect

 

Here we see the 120* aspect or Trine called the Major 3rd….it is 4 semitones apart. This example above shows the Grand Trine of TTT in Fire house 1, 5 and 9. All four Grand Trines can be created though in this archimedes spiral GGG, AAA and CCC. All can be made within the one circle though this pattern shows an 8 octave pattern within it. 

It has a bright, sunny, radiance about the trine with an open feeling like your heart bursting outwards. It is stable and blends easily without clashing. Feels warm and joyful. The Major 3rd Is now getting in DNA Codon aspect shapes that a large. 

So four DNA Codons CCC…TTT…AAA…GGG the Grand Trine no other codons can be created here. 

CCC - Hex 2 -  Proline Amino Acid - Centre based - 2/2 Nine Star Ki - D# G B - Planets Saturn and Saturn - 120* x 120* x 120* Grand Trine in Water

TTT - Hex 12 - Phenylalanine Amino Acid - N/S direction - C E G# - Saturn and Venus Planets - 120* x 120* x 120* Grand Trine in Fire 

AAA - Hex 11 - Lysine Amino Acid - S/N direction - C# F A - Planets Venus and Saturn - 120* x 120* x 120* Grand Trine in Earth

GGG - Hex 1 - Glycine Amino Acid - Centre based - 6/6 Nine Star Ki - D F# A# - Planets Venus and Venus - 120* x 120* x 120* Grand Trine in Air/Tree 

Associated with numbers 4 and 8. 

The Archimedes Spiral and the Sextile Aspect of 60*

 

Here we see the 8 octave spiral connected to the 60* aspect or sextile. Known as the Major 2nd it is said to be bold, strong, cheerful if perhaps a little restless. It has little dissonance but more of an energy that encourages you to move forward in the future. It is 2 semitones musically. With a floaty, lazy tone, a bit of a dreamlike state and yet an uplifting melody. Harmonious and supportive feeling to it. It forms the sextile 60* aspect and is associated with the colour blue. It creates a six sided hexagon shape. The perfect honeycomb pattern like a pair of DNA Hexagrams from the I Ching. They share compatible elements but not modalities. A creative energy that opens doors, a kind of use it or lose it way with it. Talent can make you lazy…..you can do it…..but can you be bothered to put in the effort. Its friendly and lacks friction which is why you can end up missing out a little friction gets things moving. Creative flare here and a tool that can be put to good use. 

There are NO DNA Codons that can be made by the flow of sextiles in a circle. 

The Archimedes Spiral and the Semisextile or 30* Aspect

 Here we have the example of the Archimedes Spiral for the 30 degree angle in a circle. Let’s take a closer look.

The 30* aspect is associated with the colour green, a semisextile that creates 12 30* aspects for a full circle. The image above shows the 8 octaves. NO DNA Codons can be made from these sections as they cannot span the 1st, 2nd and 3rd sections of the circle in order to create the three letters required. It does create the perfect template for an astrology chart. It is known as the Minor 2nd and moves one semitone on the piano keyboard. A dedecagon in shape. There is tension, unease, suspense attached to its sound. It has a minor instability about it. When you push down the two keys next to each other down at the same time it creates a clashing sound that affects the brain making it determined to resolve the problem. As an example Fur Elise is softly played but can feel bittersweet, loving and so on but also a sense of friction. It is said a baby crying has this effect, most women would relate to that sense of panic. Sitting next to each other they have clashing elements and modalities having very little in common other than being neighbours.

Archimedes Spiral and The Square or 90 degree Angle

 

Let’s take a closer look at the above aspect shape……..we have the 90* Square aspect, a dynamic yet highly pressured angle of friction. Look around you for sharp 90* angles, walls for example not a good place to put your chair to watch tv at night as it will be giving off some unpleasant vibes. The Worktops in your kitchen, hopefully you have had enough sense to round off those corners or they could hurt a child of the same height as the worktop. There is conflict between the two points that form the 90* aspect. They are three signs apart and the elements do not gel. That said they will usually match up to the Cardinal, Fixed or Mutable parts of a chart. There is potential for problems here and perhaps that friction needs to be released. You do grow from these experiences and they force you to take action and as they cannot be contained you really do have to do something about it. At least it stops stagnation from occurring. This energy will push you on to breaking point if needs be but who knows what your achievements might be because of it. It is known as a Minor 3rd, they are 3 semitones apart. The colour Red for action is used for the Square Aspect. The pattern above shows the form it takes in 8 octaves its very own Archimedes Spiral. It has a sense of darkness, a sad melancholic, introspective way about it. Yet it can be a soft, red, maybe even pink as it feels emotionally that sense of loss or hurt, maybe an old romantic who idealises someone rather than just letting them go and experiencing the pain that goes with it. They have a serious, longing sort of nature not jarring as such but not stable either. I sense unrequited love here. Associated with the numbers 3 and 9 maybe 3 gets more argumentative and 9 just burns everything down to start again. The image above is 8 octaves. 

This square is T to C to G to A and then back to T which creates the square but only CGA and GAT actually creates DNA Codons. They have to form from One letter in the first third, second letter in the second third and third letter in the third section. Just two Codons in all that pattern. 

CGA Nine star Ki 4/1 - Arginine Amino Acid - NE/SW directions - Hexagram 48 - D# F# A - Planets Jupiter and Mercury - Aspect shape The Worker - 90 x 90 x 180 

GAT Nine star Ki 7/9 - Aspartic Acid Amino Acid - E/W Directions - Hexagram 38 - D F G# - Planets Venus and Mars - Aspect shape The Worker - 90 x 90 x 180 

The Worker aspect always contains two 90* angles and one 180* but only these two work here with the square.

The Acoustic Connections to Nine Star Ki

 

Here we have a table of Nine Star Ki Acoustics so to speak the Piano Octaves can work with DNA up to the Perfect fifth of 210* then any similar patterns would be in reverse and that works on a keyboard but not for 9 Star Ki or DNA Codons. Once we reach number 7 in the West of the chart it ends for DNA and the alternative reverse patterns are simply for interest as opposed to working within the DNA Codon patterns. Enjoy your thinking. 

The Acoustics of Astrological Patterns 30* - 60* - 90* - 120*- 150*

 More Minor and Major 8 Octave aspects in Astrology and Music…

Minor 2nd…30* aspect…semisextile…just around the outside a division of the circle x 30 degrees x 12 

Major 2nd…60* aspect…sextile…just a spiral pattern …or straighten the lines and ever decreasing hexagons occur….

Minor 3rd…90* aspect…Square…clear image of square.  

Major 3rd…120* aspect… Trine…clear image of a trine. 

Perfect 4th…150* aspect…Quincunx…clear pentagram image. 

180* Tritone listed earlier along with 210* Perfect 5th.

So here we have the shapes of the music of the spheres ……. Stonehenge is the one that stands out for me with the 210* aspect. These patterns have been from the start point of C on the piano though obviously they could start in different places which would move them on the grids. Enjoy your thinking. X

The Acoustics of Stonehenge as Astrological Patterns of 180* - The Tritone

Well considering what a bad press the Tritone 180* aspect gets it seems rather dull and uninteresting here…….

The Piano creates a ziggy zag pattern but when we express those 8 octaves in the Archimedes Spiral two straight lines. Maybe it is considered Diablos to be so dull. It does at least have a beginning and end that returns to the original C. Enjoy your thinking. X
