Published: Nov. 6, 2017, 8 p.m.

In his book,\xa0If DNA is Software, Who Wrote The Code?\xa0\u2014 The Profound Significance of Life\u2019s Programming Language,\xa0Bunzel explains that software (or computer code) has identical properties to DNA (and may be a stark example of\xa0inadvertent biomimicry). Extracting meaning from different symbols \u2014 in this case A, C, T, and G, which represent chemicals or proteins \u2014 allowed scientists to resurrect extinct species by \u201ccopying and pasting\u201d DNA code.

If an organic programming language has been at the heart of evolution, then Mind must be the programming energy.
