I found the Math in DNA article very interesting. I suspect that the 'geometry dragon' is related to the phase shift that allowed for life to emerge in the lifeless universe. As you may recall, I have posited that biological life is a dimensional characteristic of our universe, companion to time and space, and that spirit is also a dimensional characteristic. The continuua woven with expressions from temporal, spatial, life, and spirit are created aspects of the Universe since God spoke it into existence. But it is fun to conjecture as to how He is doing this stuff, how the dimensions are woven together ... kind of like calling quarks and subatomic particles and atoms 'condensates' ... :-) My biggest problem now is that there just are not terms to define the continuua expressions, that I can find anyway.

Thank you so very much for sharing your insights, dear brother in Christ!

Evidently we tend to describe creation geometrically - e.g. continuum, field, wave, universals, whole - whereas others tend to describe creation by some quantization of the continuum, e.g. matter, energy, particles, DNA, object.

To be effective, we must translate between observer perspectives. For instance, a field has value at all points in space/time whereas particles are point-like - and therefore the we must explain the difference and which perspective we have taken.

Moreover, concerning information theory and molecular biology, we not only must translate between the successful communication of a message (Shannon, Rosen, et al) and the message itself (DNA) but also between the message and the language of the message (the coding of the DNA.) And again between autonomous and non-autonomous systems.

Sadly, the translations require many common words because, as you suggest, the dictionary fails to satisfy our need for precision.
