1055.00 Twentyfoldness of Amino Acid System Indestructibility

1055.01 Return to the Shell of Homogenized Contents of an Egg: There are 20 amino acids, and they can all be made in the laboratory. They always reorganize themselves in geodesic tensegrity patterns. That’s why you can pull all of the liquid out of an egg through a tiny needle-like hole, homogenize the contents, and then put it back in the shell, and the embryo will reorganize itselfeven after the embryo chick is a week old and has started to form. The amino acids themselves do this.

1055.02 In connection with the 20-amino-acid system’s indestructibility, we intuitively sense the necessity to consider the possible interrelations of all of the 20 amino acids’ indestructible pattern integrities with other twentyfold-nesses. The number 20 is particularly significant in a plurality of nature’s most elementary aspects.

1055.03 Icosahedral Twentyness: There is, for instance, the minimum twentyfoldness of the icosahedron’s 20 equiangular, triangular (ergo, structural) facets, which constitute the highest common unit-angle, unit-edge, and unit-vertex structural denominator of universal structural systems. The icosahedron encloses the most volume with the least energy investment as matter or work. Universal limits of eternal abstract principles are indestructible. The discontinuous-compression, continuous-tension, multifrequency geodesic, icosahedral structures are approximately indestructible pattern integrities. They are employed as the protein shells of almost all the viruses. In principle, they are probably involved in the 20 amino acids.

1055.04 Magic Number Twentyness: Then there is the Magic Number twentyness in the relative cosmic abundances of all the atomic- element isotopes, which Magic Numbers we have now identified with mathematical exactitude as constituting a hierarchy of symmetrical, geometrical patterns occurring in mathematical sequence and manifest in the icosahedrontetrahedron shell-frequency symmetry relationships (see Illus. 995.02).

1055.05 Vector Equilibrium Twentyness: Twentyness is significant as the inherent minimum twentyfoldness of the time-space, energy-mass, volume potential of the subfrequency vector equilibrium as quantized by using as unity the geometric volume of the minimum structural system of Universe: the tetrahedron, whose fractional integrity subdivided by the complex of/I and B Module reorientations is in the high order number of magnitude of the amino acid’s interrelationship permutations.

1055.06 Twentyness in Mass Ratio of Electron and Neutron: It is relevant in this exploratory speculating to consider that since enzymes are molecular event integrities and involve electron-binding proclivities, this introduces further identification with the fact that the icosahedron’s non-closest-packability tends mathematically to be identifiable exclusively with the migrating, trading independence of the electron and its volumetric relationship to the vector equilibrium, i.e., 18.51:20, which is akin to the fractional-number relationship of the electron’s mass to the proton’s mass.

1055.07 Twentyness of Maximum Limit Nonnuclear Tetrahedron: There is another twentyness that seems highly relevant, and that is the twentyness of spherical atoms composing the largest single-shell tetrahedron that can be closest-packingly assembled without a nucleus of its own, which 20-sphered (atomed) tetrahedron has the new potential nucleus to be “crowned” when further layers are added; this tetrahedron of 20 occupies each of the eight triangular face regions of the outermost shell of the highest frequency vector equilibrium which is inherently nuclearthat is, it contains only one interior closest-packed sphere. This is its exact volumetric center (see Sec. 414).

1055.08 Twenty-Sphere Models of DNA-RNA Compounds: Furthermore, the 20-sphere (atom), closest-packed, non-nucleused tetrahedron consists of five basic (because minimum limit) four-ball tetrahedra that, unlike their planar-faceted polyhedral counterpart tetrahedra, can be closest-packingly assembled without octahedral complementation because the octahedra are internal to the four-ball basic tetrahedra. It is further relevant to these considerations that the DNA-RNA code consists always and only of the four chemical compoundsguanidine, cytosine, adenine, and thiamineand that the helix that they generate consists entirely of tetrahedra whose four constituents in all vast variety of combinations will always be the same tetrahelixes.
