Decoding the Genetic Code and Exploring the Origins of Life

The chapter explores the decoding of the genetic code, illustrating how it is read in triplets to form proteins and likens it to a quaternary code.

It also discusses the transition from analog to digital signals in biology and technology, touching on error tolerance, evolution, and the implications of synthetic life in the digital age.
