The genome does not merely specify chemical structures to be assembled but also specifies complex patterns of interaction between molecular structures required to produce controlled behaviours of the individual organism.

Entities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.

• The genome contains instead a program of instructions for making the organism — a generative program.quote0.846
  Wolpert's core distinction, quoted by Alexander to support the generative approach to architecture.
• The genome contains a latent wholeness — capable of generating the wholeness of the organism — which itself evolves through structure-preserving transformations analogous to direct wholeness unfolding.claim0.819
  Alexander's extension of unfolding wholeness to evolutionary processes where the evolving entity is the genetic structure rather than the organism's form directly
• The number of atoms involved in the responsible gene structure is likely to be very small, yet it displays a most regular and lawful activity with a durability that borders upon the miraculous, remaining unperturbed by the disordering tendency of heat motion for centuries.claim0.815
  Schrödinger's statement of the puzzle that quantum mechanics resolves.
• Genetic information must encode not only physical forms but also complex self-modifying control mechanisms for behavior and development.claim0.810
• Links between molecular and cellular structures of nature and how the brain sees and understands them are foundational to designclaim0.804
  Alexander's assertion that understanding natural structures at multiple scales is essential to architecture and design philosophy.
• Organised structure of relationships between component parts causes them to work together, creating new organismic entity and evolutionary unitclaim0.800
• What is the relationship between the genome and anatomy, and what mechanisms allow biology to exhibit robustness and plasticity simultaneously?question0.794
  Driving question for the research program.
