    The wonder of it all.
    Is science losing it?
    No, it's not. Not with men and women like who are exciting and interesting in these fields like all of you are here.
    The awakening of life is never-ending.There is a harmony of rhythm, and the mystery is glowing in the unknown. ✨️
    Thank you both.
    🙏❤️🌏🌍🌎🌿🕊 🎵🎶🎵

    I believe biological research has increasingly shifted toward technology over the past two decades, with less emphasis on the basic, fundamental questions that were more prominent from the 1980s to 2000.

    DNA is a code or language and all forms of communication are dual -- syntax is dual to semantics!
    Codes, narratives, stories, languages, communication are dual.
    Reductionism (differentiation, entropy) is dual to holism (integration, syntropy).
    The western thought paradigm of reductionism and division is dual to the eastern thought paradigm of unity and integration.
    All communication is conducted through the medium of photons or electro-magnetic fields in physics.
    Electro is dual to magnetic -- photons or bi-vectors are dual hence communication and languages are dual.
    Sender is dual to receiver -- cell communication.
    DNA a language is therefore dual -- the code of life is dual.
    Hydrophilic is dual to hydrophobic -- hydrogen bonding or the backbone of DNA.
    A is dual to T.
    C is dual to G -- nucleotide base pairs.
    Male is dual to female.
    If mathematics is a language then it is dual.
    The left hemisphere is dual to the right hemisphere -- the divided brain or dual brain.
    "Always two there are" -- Yoda.
    Messages in a communication are predicted into existence according to Shannon's information theorem -- a syntropic process, teleological.
    Categories (form, syntax) are dual to sets (substance, semantics) -- words, sentences, language or DNA, the code of life.

      Predicting messages into existence is a syntropic process -- teleological.
      Average information or entropy is converted into co or mutual information (syntropy).
      Information is dual.
      Concepts are dual to percepts -- the mind duality of Immanuel Kant.
      Mathematicians create new ideas or concepts all the time form their perceptions, measurements, observations or intuitions -- syntropic.
      Teleological physics (syntropy) is dual to non teleological physics (entropy).
      Syntropy (prediction) is dual to increasing entropy -- the 4th law of thermodynamics!
      "The brain is a prediction machine" -- Karl Friston, neuroscientist.
      Making predictions is a syntropic process -- teleological.
      Hence there is a 4th law of thermodynamics.
      Ideas, thoughts and concepts (categories) are empirical proof that syntropy is real.
      Syntropy allows for making predictions more accurate than chance or randomness.
      DNA or the double helix should be called the dual helix -- the code of life is dual if it is a language!
      Biological sex is dual -- male is dual to female.
      Biological cells communicate with each other all the time -- language (duality).
      The word isomorphism as used by geneticists literally means duality.
      Injective is dual to surjective synthesizes bijective or isomorphism -- duality!

    It’s not that machine is a bad metaphor. It’s just that humans haven’t (yet) figured out how to build machines as well as evolution has. No surprise - she’s had quite the head start. Give humanity a little more time! I can’t wait to see the future of intelligently designed machines. I bet humanity will surpass what evolution has done so far in a rapid fashion. That is, if our civilization survives.

      Machines are repetitive, predictable or syntropic.
      Evolution (syntropy) is dual to entropy -- Janna Levin, astrophysicist.
      Syntropy (prediction) is dual to increasing entropy -- the 4th law of thermodynamics!

      Life has been using machines for billions of years:
      - enzymes
      - ribosomes
      - ATP synthase
      - cytoskeleton
      - motor proteins
      - membrane transport proteins
      - DNA replication machinery
      - transcription machinery
      - gene regulation
      - nervous system
      - circulatory system
      - immune system
      - myosin in muscle contraction
      - flagella/cilia
