    Derek: apparently I've even forgotten that three hydrogen bonds were present
    on one nucleotide pair. Question is WHICH side gets WHICH atoms- and if I
    remember correctly you need to expand the other pair to extrapolate what atom
    is missing for there to *ideally* be a third bond there as well. Gas code:
    Gas because only O and N (with intermediary H) appear to be involved, Code
    because it is this setup that determines the order of the items on the x,y,z
    axes of the codon-to-amino-acid cube, and thus the polarities which yield
    placement determination for size, shape, solubility, (and charge) of the
    amino acid side chains, quite unexpectedly. Remember I was just fiddling
    around. Serendipity. On and off over the last 15 years or so I've been trying
    to figure out WHY this should be. Don't know. Maybe you can tell me.

    Any nonrandom assortment of items requires explanation. That's why motivated
    codes are so interesting. Arbitrary mapping has been a prejudice among
    Western theoreticians for a while now. Folks were surprised when the workings
    of the genetic code came out. There was massive resistance to the periodic
    table of the elements. Why? Anyway, I don't mean to rebuff your questions-
    the original synthesis for my claims has been long buried somewhere among
    other notes, and though I've searched again and again for it, who knows where
    it went off to. Until I find it, the chain of reasoning will remain broken
    unless I can somehow reconstruct it. I've got the ends, but need the middle.
