Avril And Her Language Of DNA
There
is left, however, the ‘language’ of DNA.
The basic units or letters’ of the DNA language are chemical components
called bases. The 4 types,
abbreviated, are thought of as letters in a 4 letter alphabet. Now, in the same way as we arrange
letters in our usual alphabet into meaningful words, sentences and syntax, these
letters of the DNA language making up our genes arrange into 3 letter ‘words’
that can be understood by the machinery of the cell. Genetic ‘words’ form
sentences telling the cell how to manufacture particular
protein.
How
DNA letters thread together determines whether the protein functions as a enzyme
that assists to digest our supper, an antibody that will ward off infection, or
any of the thousands of protein that are found within our
body.
The
‘Mother Tongue’, as referred and employed singularly and possibly uniquely by
Avril, is this DNA, language, or as she describes it; “A matrix algebra that
determines the behaviour of physical systems acting in mathematical terms as the
network of intersections between input and output loads in a computer - in this
case an autistic brain - functioning as encoder or
decoder.”
Here
is but one brief example of her ‘cybernet alphabet’. I once mentioned the Greek word
‘tetelestai’, which translated means, “it is done”, the final words attestedly
spoken by the historical figure of Christ upon the cross, as in Christian
theology He is deemed to have altered consciousness and left the earth plane,
the message of His Ministry conveyed and communicated to His Father in
heaven. Avril, taking a look at the
word, and immediately examining its structure, provided from
tetelestai.
Tet, from the French, meaning head; Stele, from
the engraved Greek stone pillars (often written as Stela), both Stela and
stellar sounding alike and thus relating to a star or the stars; and Telestar -
any of a series of communication satellites launched by NASA. Telestar 1 was the first satellite to
relay live TV pictures across the Atlantic Ocean in July 1962. Not only does tele mean at, over or to a
distance, it is also recognisable as ‘telly’, the colloquialism for a
television.
