Potential for 16 Notes for Tritones

 

When reading a codon of DNA. As T G C we see just three letters but when those letters become a triangle they have to go from Musical notes C to G# to B and thats fine but we must also remember to draw the final line of the triangle from B back to T. In this example all of them fit inside a 12 note circle but if we take GTT or D E G# we draw a line from D to E to G# but then from G# we have to draw a line from G# back to D but that is now is the next section of the keyboard an overlap adding C# D and D to the circle. Now you might say no it just fits within the 12 sections D back to D but the pattern begins with T or C musically and we choose a letter from each of the sections of four…….TAGC……TAGC….TAGC but in order to understand why some of the codons with a 180* aspect in them but no Tritone exists. In order to finish that last line in some of the codons we need potentially 16 notes to choose from. Its a stretch but a possibility. 

I guess the starting letter of a codon is the issue if you start with T and end on B its not a problem all are included but if in the case of GTT you start at Musical Note D but you start with the full circle so in order to end the triangle you have to go over the original start point of T and can go as far as the original four letters to D#.

It would explain why not all tritones appear in the full circle. Enjoy your thinking x 

So when we have a DNA Codon D E G# and we draw a line from each not D to E to G# we have only drawn two lines of the codon and we have to go from G# back to D in a circle its a triangle that we create but on the piano for example do we return to the original D or do we continue onward to the D in the next octave? 

This problem is the same problem we had with the 210* or 150* aspects……….in this case because the tritone is 180* the measure remains 180* but do we cut across the circle to draw the line or go around the outside thereby making the 360* circle into a 450* size.
