64 Codons of DNA in The I Ching

There are 64 DNA codons and they move along nicely starting at number one through to number 64 and there are no problems until the number Hexagram 27 occurs.....this position is called an alert. Next problem occurs with Hex 51/2, then 57/8 and finally 61/2. The reason they are called alerts is the top and bottom do not match or conform as all other Hexagrams do. Usually two codons or hexagrams sit one on top of the other. It there is a T or A in the mix they become opposites T becomes A and A becomes T the C & G remain the same. If only the letter C & G are in the hexagrams they swop to opposites C becomes G and G becomes C except in alerts. 8 Codons out of 64 that do not conform = 1/8th of the whole.

Hex 27/8 ACT/TGA.....TGA should be ACT which would mean it was the same hence alert
Hex 61/2 AGT/TCA..... TCA should be AGT which would mean it was the same hence alert
They cannot make two codons the same so instead they just change C to G and G to C...this is why they are called alerts they do not conform to standard where T and A change.

****..........AGTTCA – ATATAT.

  • Hex 27/8 *
  • Hex 51/2 **
  • Hex 57/8 ***
  • Hex 61/2 ****

Hex 51/2 GCC/CCG.....CCG should be GGC but it does not conform
Hex 57/8 CGG/GGC.....GGC should be CCG but it does not conform
We can see that instead of C becoming G and G becoming C they have remained the same C is C and G is G.

Let us look at it as alerts becoming breaks in the pattern....

GGGCCC – ATCCAT- AGATGT – CACCTC – AGGGGT – AAATTT – GTGGAG – CCATCC - GTCCAG – AACCTT – GCTACG – CCTACC – GTTAAG - Break
*............ACTTGA – CGCGCG – TTATAA – TTGGAA – TCTACA – ATGGAT – CTATAC AATATT – GGATGG – TTCCAA – TGCCGA – GTATAG Break
**..........GCCCCG – CTGGAC – GCATCG Break
***..........CGGGGC – CGTAGC Break
****..........AGTTCA – ATATAT.

There are no alerts in the 6/6 – 2/2 Crystal or the 1/1 – 9/9 Crystal.
Hexagrams 51/52 and 57/8 are alerts in the Double Crystal.
Hexagrams 27/28 are alerts in the 8/4 – 7/3 Crystal.
Hexagrams 61/62 are alerts in the Diamond Crystal.


Why do one eighth of Codons have these alerts or hiccups............x
