Abstract

---

This paper results from work inspired in the 1960s by Crick and Watson’s discovery of the DNA structure and code and Tinbergen, Lorenz, and von Frisch’s ethological (biology of behavior) discoveries, rewarded by shared Nobel Prizes in Physiology or Medicine, respectively, in 1962 and in 1973. Results and conclusions of my own interdisciplinary research, in a multitude of collaborations, since the early 1970s, are here presented mostly based on a recent paper entitled “T-patterns, external memory and mass-societies in proteins and humans: In an eye-blink, the naked ape became a string-controlled citizen the development of mathematical pattern types called T-pattern and the T-patterned string or T-string, with corresponding software (THEME) for TPA the detection analysis of T-patterns, which are a special kind of statistical fractals typically composed of many categories of points (multimodal) and recurring on a single dimension with significant translation symmetryDetecting temporal T-patterns in interactions at very different levels of biological organization, notably, between children and between neurons in brain networks, suggested the wide occurrence and relevance of such patterns. It was then noticed and verified that both DNA and text were T-strings of analogous and paramount importance in the mass societies Mass societies based on inert purely informational T-strings are thus called T-societies, with second-order T-societies only found in humans, those of text and citizens that are composed of other (lower level) T-societies, those of DNA and proteins.From this viewpoint, modern mass social humans live between two layers of frequently interacting T-strings, DNA and text. This focus is thus different from (but compatible and complementary to) medical paradigms focusing on DNA sequence variations relative to individual health issues. DNA and text being T-strings and having strongly analogous mass social functions support a view of molecular and textual (verbal) viruses as equally biological, material, and real. Text, a brand-new phenomenon in human evolution, has in a biological eyeblink become fundamental for most modern human life while separating humans from all other life and even threatening all life with extinction. It appears that mass societies on nano and human scales are based on purely informational (inert) T-strings outside the citizens. That is, DNA within each of the trillions of cells of each human citizen and text within modern human mass
