https://x.com/mathemetica/status/2076310833953755380
Editorial Comment: DNA and the origin of life have been among my tangential interests since high school.
And in recent news: "Scientists have discovered all five canonical nucleobases (adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine, and uracil)—the fundamental building blocks of DNA and RNA—in pristine samples from the carbonaceous asteroids Ryugu and Bennu. Researchers also found precursor compounds like amino acids and ribose sugars, strongly reinforcing the theory that meteorites delivered the molecular ingredients for life to early Earth.”

Beading with Algorithms: Cellular Automata in Peyote Stitch - "Can you weave beads so that each new stitch you take depends upon what you have already beaded? To answer this question, we explore how the mathematical concept of one-dimensional cellular automata can be applied to beaded peyote stitch, in other words, beading with algorithms.”
