Introduction

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.

The theory is simple: The DNA is a "fractal" (fractional dimension). Evidence suggests that the DNA may be written in binary - the language of computers - and if so, has many of the same devices and functions we find in computer programs. This fractal is then chemically expressed  to become the complex systems of life - from those inside a single cell, to those of whole ecosystems.

The underlying rationale behind this theory is equally simple: There are only a small handful of readily identifiable dimensions in our universe and truly very few ways they may interact - the laws of physics - to which all things must obey. Thus the principles behind the most common devices and methods that we use in society are probably universal, to be found wherever a natural order is found, such as within the DNA. Since the basic evolution of life has been from processes of nuclear physics in stars through basic chemistry of planetary formation to complex chemistry, the deepest principles of the DNA are likely to be far less complicated than it would seem.

To learn more about the philosophical basis of this theory, go to "A Language of Metaphors". There are plenty of examples in the photo section for your learning and viewing pleasure.
