The Tritones that can be Found in DNA Codons

 

Here we have a list of Tritones within DNA Codons. Only 16 Codons contain a tritone…which is interesting considering so many more contain an opposition or 180* aspect. 

Ruminators x 6 have an opposition, Alternators x 12 have an opposition and 

Workers x 6 have an opposition so you could be forgiven for thinking 24 DNA Codons would have a tritone but no only 16 of them do and here they are….

C Water Section…2

CAC - 1-2 …D F B (F to B Tritone) 

Alternator

CTG - 8/4...D# E A# (E to A# Tritone) Ruminator

G Air/Tree Section…2

GAC - 7/3… D F B (F to B Tritone)

Worker

GTG - 9/6… D E A# (E to A# Tritone)

Alternator

T Fire Section…6

TTG - 8/6… C E A# (E to A# Tritone)

Alternator

TAC - 1/ 3…C F B (F to B Tritone)

Ruminator

TGC - 1/7… C F# B ( C to F# Tritone)

Ruminator

TGT - 1/ 6… C F# G# (C to F# Tritone)

Alternator

TGA - 4/7… C F# A (C to F# Tritone)

Worker

TGG - 4/6… C F# A# (C to F# Tritone)

Alternator

A Earth Section…6

ACC - 3/2… C# G B (C# to G Tritone)

Alternator

ACT - 3/ 8… C# G G# (C to G Tritone)

Ruminator

ACA - 9/2… C# G A (C to G Tritone)

Alternator

ACG - 9/8… C# G A# ( C# to G Tritone)

Worker

ATG - 9/4… C# E A# ( E to A# Tritone)

Worker

AAC - 7/2…C F B ( F to B Tritone) 

Alternator 

There are two other Tritones in an one scale D to G# and D# to A but neither of these applies to DNA Codons as they can only produce the 1st letter of a codon and the last so the second letter would be missing so we can discount them here. 

So 8 Alternators - 4 Ruminators - 4 Workers

There are actually 12 Alternators - 6 Ruminators and 6 Workers all of which contain a 180* aspect line or opposition yet only 16 actually play a tritone note. None of them have two. 

In order to lighten the load of a tritone we can take a DNA Codon and adjust it lets see what we can achieve with TGC…..

We have the original size TGC Ruminator and we raise C to C# and we lower B to A# a plus and a minus balance it out and the Ruminator now becomes a Lecturer AGG.

Plus one and minus one shortens the triangle from 12 parts to just 10 but the problem of the opposition has vanished. Alternatively you could Leave C as C change F# to G and reduce B to A# creating TCG which is a Teacher aspect C remains same F# Plus one and B minus one…….also solves the problem. 

I have never been truly happy about E not having its own sharp not B but I guess until the Gregorian Monks started playing music there was just the 7 white notes so lets not get greedy. That said the DNA Codons above all remain inside the 12 notes from C to B whereas others that also contain a Tritone work within two scales for example…

GTT 3/6 D E G# ……D to E is within the first scale E to G# is also within that first scale but G# back to D now moves it into two scales. I suspect I have discovered why some are Diablos/Tritone and some are not showing here.  So G# back to D is Tritone. Which explains why so few registered as tritone here. 

So the count for Tritones within the one scale of DNA letters is 16 there are infact 24 in total. Enjoy your thinking x
