Dennett I 221
Semantics/Syntax/Eigen: The structural stability is not related to semantic information. This is only expressed in the translation product. Nature prefers certain letters.
G and C are preferred because they are the most stable as replicators and not because they are most common in genetic "words".
>Stability, >Equilibrium, >Replication.
The preference, which is initially syntactic, combines with a semantic imbalance: the logic of the code scheme results from purely physical or chemical conditions.
>Code, >Syntax.
Sense/Meaning/Eigen/Dennett: The whole thing has meaning because it works!
>Sense, >Meaning, >Function, >Success.
