The Digram I Ching Genetic Code Compresses the Genetic Code into 24 Compatible Main Codons

Abstract

When using a compacted version of the “I Ching” genetic code, the number of symbols is reduced to only 8 symbolic binary constants, integrated by only three symbols, being each: either the continuous or the broken horizontal line, plus the respective one word abbreviations of their resulting amino acids, namely, between four to eight accompanying the triad of lines, giving a total set of 46 possible combinations. This study is an alternate way of file compression for the genetic code, focused in the nucleotides, while another one I explored elsewhere, was focused in the groupings of amino acids, both individually and by their codon equivalents. As an Appendix 1 & 2 analogy, I add an example of “mutations” in literature, based on two early versions of “The Fair” (in its first edition of 1963, and in its first red edition of 1971), comparing its vignettes, and written in Spanish by my professor Juan José Arreola, now at his 101 year of birth.

The Eight Trigrams of the I Ching Provide a New Avenue for Characterizing the Association between mRNA Codons and the Hydrophobicity of the Encoded Amino Acids

“…The Yin-Yang concept in I Ching introduced the world's earliest binary system. Scientists have investigated the possible connection between I Ching and computer code, genetic code, linguistics, oscillatory process, and musical harmony (Bailey, 1982;Castro-Chavez, 2019;Darvas, Koblyakov, Petoukhov, & Stepanyan, 2012;Gerber, 2001;Hu, Petoukhov, & Petukhova, 2017;Igamberdiev & Shklovskiy-Kordi, 2016;Petoukhov, 2016;Schonberger, 1992;Zhang, Chen, Chen, Xu, & Hu, 2018). Previous studies on possible connections between the genetic code and the symbolic system of I Ching have focused on the 64 hexagrams because there are 64 genetic codons (Castro-Chavez, 2011, 2012.…”
