“…Chronologically and causally, “meaning” is first contained in the codonic prescriptive sequence, which then instructs amino acid (AA) sequencing and TP (Brier, 1998 ; Abel, 2000 ; El-Hani et al, 2006 ; Barbieri, 2007a , b , c , 2008 ; Bopry, 2007 ; Alp, 2010 ; D'Onofrio et al, 2012 ). The sequence of specific R groups determines the minimum-free-energy folding of the protein (Muff and Caflisch, 2009 ; Schuetz et al, 2010 ; Liwo et al, 2011 ; Contessoto et al, 2013 ; Marinelli, 2013 ).…”

“…Thus, the prescribed sequencing blossoms into deeper layers of meaning (Abel, 2000 , 2011c , 2012a , b ; Kellera, 2011 ; D'Onofrio et al, 2012 ). In molecular biological messages, “meaning” translates into successful “biofunction” (Huttegger, 2007 ; Kauffman, 2007 ; Kolen and Van de Vijver, 2007 ; Livaditis and Tsatalmpasidou, 2007 ; Sherman and Deacon, 2007 ; Abel, 2009c ; Marsen, 2009 ; Alp, 2010 ; Bedau, 2010 ; Benner, 2010 ; Levy, 2010 ; Montañez et al, 2010 ; Tirard et al, 2010 ).…”

“…Cause-and-effect physical determinism, in other words, cannot account for the programming of sequence-dependent biofunction (Abel and Trevors, 2005 , 2007 ; Abel, 2007 , 2009a , b , 2010 , 2011a , 2012b ). Nucleotide sequencing and consequent amino acid sequencing are formally programmed in both the nascent protein, and in the chaperones that help determine folding (Brier, 1998 ; Abel, 2000 ; El-Hani et al, 2006 ; Barbieri, 2007a , b , c , 2008 ; Bopry, 2007 ; Alp, 2010 ; D'Onofrio et al, 2012 ). In addition, the mRNA sequencing of codons itself also determines the rate of translation (internal mechanism).…”

Redundancy of the genetic code enables translational pausing

The codon redundancy (“degeneracy”) found in protein-coding regions of mRNA also prescribes Translational Pausing (TP). When coupled with the appropriate interpreters, multiple meanings and functions are programmed into the same sequence of configurable switch-settings. This additional layer of Ontological Prescriptive Information (PIo) purposely slows or speeds up the translation-decoding process within the ribosome. Variable translation rates help prescribe functional folding of the nascent protein. Redundancy of the codon to amino acid mapping, therefore, is anything but superfluous or degenerate. Redundancy programming allows for simultaneous dual prescriptions of TP and amino acid assignments without cross-talk. This allows both functions to be coincident and realizable. We will demonstrate that the TP schema is a bona fide rule-based code, conforming to logical code-like properties. Second, we will demonstrate that this TP code is programmed into the supposedly degenerate redundancy of the codon table. We will show that algorithmic processes play a dominant role in the realization of this multi-dimensional code.

“…An important contribution to this area was the book of John Poinsot (1589Poinsot ( -1644 who was also called John of St. Thomas (Poinsot, 1632). The next imperative contribution to semiotics was done by Charles Sanders Peirce (1839Peirce ( -1914 in the form of a general theory of signs (Peirce, 1931(Peirce, -1935Alp, 2010;Burgin, 2012;Burgin and Schumann, 2006;Goodman, 1968). Similar to Augustine of Hippo, Peirce treated sign as the general term while symbol as the convention-based sign constructing the following triadic model of a sign, Balanced Sign Triad (cf.…”

Platonic Computer— the Universal Machine That Bridges the “Inverse Explanatory Gap” in the Philosophy of Mind

The scope of Platonism is extended by introducing the concept of a “Platonic computer” which is incorporated in metacomputics. The theoretical framework of metacomputics postulates that a Platonic computer exists in the realm of Forms and is made by, of, with, and from metaconsciousness. Metaconsciousness is defined as the “power to conceive, to perceive, and to be self-aware” and is the formless, con-tentless infinite potentiality. Metacomputics models how metaconsciousness generates the perceived actualities including abstract entities and physical and nonphysical realities. It is postulated that this is achieved via digital computation using the Platonic computer. The introduction of a Platonic computer into the realm of Forms thus bridges the “inverse explanatory gap” and therefore solves the “inverse hard problem of consciousness” in the philosophy of mind.

“…The boundaries of such sacred spaces are often clearly delimited, marked for all observers by signs and symbols. Signs are items or representations that have been given a sacred meaning by cultural tradition (Alp, ), such as a gravestone or even the psychoanalyst's couch, places for reverence and retrospection. Alternatively, symbols “translate human situations into cosmological terms” (Eliade, , p. 103).…”

This article explores the ideas of Mircea Eliade, the works of other classic religious studies scholarship, and traditional religious practices for insights and strategies that can be used in contemporary counseling settings. The ideas are not intended to be proscriptive or comprehensive, but rather are offered as a way to more explicitly and intentionally access the potential of the sacred (as it is understood in classic religious studies texts) in counseling work. The authors focus on 4 specific areas: sacred space, sacred time, rebirth/return, and initiation/rites of passage.
