Designs in Nature I

Look at the design in nature - it is intuitively perfect. This is what DNA looks like, seen using the perspective of X-Ray crystallography..

In this design, the symmetry speaks for itself. There are four spokes, and three impressions per spoke.

In DNA, there are four possible letters that make the code, and a combination of three letters make a word. Look how that is reflected in this 'design'...

From this simple design, we can reconstruct what the DNA molecule looks like.

This is a bound image, representing a bound DNA molecule. But the humanity that DNA creates is truly infinite.

To me, learning in the constructivist sense is a bound but infinite activity. We receive signals from a finite number of resources, but the knowledge we build from that can go on and on.

The ultimate online learning resource will by necessity be bound and finite, but the learning it generates will be truly infinite.
