Fractal Structure in DNA Code and Human Language : Towards a Semiotics of Biogenetic Information
p. 253-273
Abstract
Evidence obtained by computer analysis confirms the scientific validity of the now wide-spread use of semiotic-linguistic nomenclature to describe the workings of the genetic apparatus. It shows that both natural languages with their semantic speech stuctures, which are sign representations of human mental activity and thought, and genetic texts(ie DNA/ RNA and proteins, etc) exhibit a strategically close geometrical fractal framework. A similar analysis of random texts of the same characters leads to the loss of this framework. This not only points to a causal supergenetic relationship between such texts that proceeds at some level in the demonstrated fractal framework, but that, for example, Chomsky's concept of a universal grammar, in relation to all forms of human languages (including mathematics and computer languages), is probably not only correct but is naturally genetically inherent.
