nanosemaphore (= nano + semaphore): the use of molecular bond positions to store and manipulate data; a theory suggesting the natural existence of single-electron/proton-exchange transistors as the basis of living systems; an extension suggesting the means of manufacture of intelligent, self-replicating chemical processors.

The DNA, the blueprint for all known lifeforms, is written in a language of only four letters. These letters spell out long strings of three-letter words that dictate everything from species type to hair colour, instinct to intelligence.

We still don't really understand the language itself: We can cut and paste sentences of the genetic code, but we still cannot form our own sentences, authoring truly new code for new creatures or organs, for example. When we do add code, we can't predict the side effects it may have on the lifeform - and more importantly - on the ecosystem in which it co-exists.

But what if we could truly write "creatively" in this universal language of life? We could design life from scratch, curing diseases or seeding other planets, creating code to do as we please - we could even test the side effects of drugs not through lab animals, but through mere calculation.

"Nanosemaphore" is a theory suggesting the true language of the DNA: A language we are familiar with - mathematics. In this theory, the DNA is viewed as a binary-encoded chemically-expressed fractal in six dimensions: life as an entropy-powered chemical computer applying the same base logic elements as atom valence 1, 2, 3, 4 (H,O,N,C), molecular battery power (phosphates)  0, 1, 2, 3 (Adenosine, AMP, ADP, ATP); binary logical values 00, 01, 10, 11 (A, G, C, T); and functions A:T=ADD, T:A=SUBTRACT, G:C=MULTIPLY, C:G=DIVIDE. Sound kooky and complex? It's actually very simple! Read on, and ask for yourself "Are computers an invention - or the way of life...?"
