Section III -- Science, Mathematical analysis of DNA --- 2006 through 2010



This third section is about science -- -- specifically applying mathematical techniques to try to capture the inherent complexity of organic systems.  My initial  interest was piqued by some other scientists writing by using my cyclomatic software complexity measure to capture a notion of emergent intelligence or even cellular complexity.

The first two articles serve as general background -- -- including a letter I wrote describing my initial thoughts. The third article is an introduction to my research on a mathematical characterization of DNA complexity.



Measuring Complexity  ....... published on the web. About using the McCabe algorithm complexity measure on the DNA transcription process. Can be used to classify and compare the complexity of different species. 

Complexity of Emergent Intelligence............ a letter about the same. What's fun here is the connection between molelecture biology and compute science. 


A Mathematical Analysis of DNA Double Helix Complexity ..... an introduction, suggests the regularity of DNA/RNA/Protein synthesis to be three isomorphic mathematical spaces.  Have since focused on the AIDS genome.
