I'm just trying to get everything straight in my head. I'm going to break this down into really simple 'DNA'.
Lets say my DNA has only 3 possible configurations: A, B and C.
My ribosomes are set up so that if my DNA is A, B, or C it produces a unique output.
Here's a table:
DNA | ribo | Output
A ----------> 1
B ----------> 2
C ----------> 3
So, although it is an extremely simplified situation, is this what you classify as a code?
ABE: As pointed out by Quetzal, this is really the definition of the 'decoding' algorithm. What I'm asking is actually "Is the DNA in this simplified example a code?"
