You may be more interested in AI then. You could also look at what they do at the Santa Fe Institute.

I want to thank you for your assistance. I about turned blue reading papers on genetic algorithms and genetic programming. You are right about Santa Fe having a huge A.I./genetic resource.

And I found this Genetic Algorithm Archive that lurkers interested in that aspect might wish to explore.

None of this however focused on the symbolism which is enormously important in information theory. Just when I was about to give up I got a Freep mail, and was given the name of Hubert Yockey.

He is a physicist and a ground roots information theorist who took a look at genetics using math. In other words, he is exactly what I was hoping to find. I also found a related group: Biological Theory and Chowder Society.

Now I must obtain a copy and read Professor Yockey's book Information Theory and Molecular Biology!

On first blush, it appears his conclusion after thorough analysis is what I was expecting!
