Triplet Code Origin
A Study of Repeating 3s
Visitors as of 9/02/2026
The "Triplet Code" to which I am referring is that code found in DNA and RNA, and not the larger one involving multiple subjects. However, let me also note that in order to get to a "three code", there may well have been a single and then a binary. Hence, a 1 → 2 → 3 developmental sequence.
Typically, the idea of an origin for many people involves thinking in terms of an internalized process of chemical activity which eventually settled on a Triplet design. Take a look at the following excerpt as an example of current views:
Abstract
Reconstruction of the earliest proteins in the ancient binary alphabet [glycine family G, alanine family A] leads to repeats of G alternating with repeats of A. In addition, omnipresent motifs can be assembled in two of the earliest genes involved in energy supply, crucial for Life, i.e. ATP/GTP binding and ATPase activity. They are an almost perfect match to the alternating G and A and are complementary to each other.
Introduction
Enormous databases of nucleotide and amino acid sequences of modern organisms, a collective labor of already two generations of molecular biologists, may be viewed as a depository of invaluable experimental material, which awaits large scale theoretical work to unravel the loads of unknown meanings hosted by these sequences. The theory, in general, is lagging well behind the mounting data. One exception is the rapidly developing theory of early molecular evolution [32], [33], [28] that started with the assumption that the sequences, active in the earliest eras of Life, are still around, some even, perhaps, unchanged. For example, the repeating sequences (GCU)n and (GCC)n of triplet expansion diseases may have survived 3.9 billion years of Life exactly because of their exceptional ability to expand [34]. Below, I briefly review the theory and outline the latest developments.

While you might want to incline yourself to believe in the views of practicing geneticists, others might want to consider the plausibility of my speculation that the triplet code influence came from outside the chemical processes occurring billions of years ago— which forced the early chemical processes to mimic its influence; whereby those chemical processes as they existed, necessarily moved along a single- binary- trinary pathway. I believe the triplet influence came from the sun's phases ("moments") know as Dawn- Noon- Dusk when the rotation of the Earth billions of years ago was accelerated.
My speculation is that for every 1 billion years, the Earth rotation slowed about 6 hours. Hence:
- Today's rotation rate of 24 hrs (23 hrs, 56 min, 4.091 secs)
- 1 billion years ago: 18 hrs rate of rotation
- 1.5 billion years ago: 15 hrs rate of rotation
- 2 billion years ago: 12 hrs rate of rotation
- 2.5 billion years ago: 9 hrs rate of rotation
- 3 billion years ago: 6 hrs rate of rotation
- 3.5 billion years ago: 3 hrs rate of rotation
- 4 - 4.5 billion years ago: A very fast swirling/churning rate of dust and debris
Let us also include that the observation of the Sun due the Earth's rotation, produces a triangular pattern using time elapsed photography. The triangular figures are sometimes referred to as solargraphs. And from time to time I have seen the rising or setting sun exhibited in commercials or movies. As for a more explicit representation, I offer the following:
Let us further note that the Moon is receding (moving further away and will cause changes to tidal behavior), and the Sun is said to one day to expand to the point of engulfing the innermost three planets; whereby the three solar phases (as seen from Earth) are on a path of fusion... attesting to a 3 in 1 pattern.
In addition, let us add the idea that due to changes in the rotation rate of the Earth, one must wonder if there is not some "rotation rate specificity" to different life forms including humans; whereby there is a limitation as to rotation rate in which humanity is enabled to survive. Survivability may have a rotation rate specificity for all the biological rhythms.
Granted that earliest pre-life microbial processes were created by chemosynthesis which had a primitive (non-triplet) code as a precursor to a triplet code, the path to what we call life with a triplet code was (in my guesstimation) undoubtedly due to photosynthesis. Let us look as some relevant commentary:
