DIGITAL LIFE. “Tom Ray’s story about the program Project Tierra generating random mutations in code and beyond. Why can you mutate genetic code and not computer code? The genetic language consists of an alphabet of 20 letters, whereas the computer language has billions of letters in its alphabet. So you can rearrange 20 letters and get a meaningful word, but it is harder to do that with billions of letters.”
