More about the book
The book explores the revolutionary concept of biological coding, asserting that over 200 distinct codes exist within living systems, fundamentally altering our understanding of biology. The author argues that these codes serve as a new mechanism of life and evolution, distinct from natural selection, which relies on copying information. Instead, coding relates to meaning and has profound implications for the history of life. This work is aimed at students and researchers in semiotics, philosophy, biology, and mathematics, highlighting the intersection of these fields.
