Tell him I miss him. I think your intuition is right. ARE THERE ANY PROPER BIOLOGISTS IN HEARING RANGE?

Unlike Huffman codes, which rely on an apriori knowledge of character frequencies, LZW *Scaffolds* it's adaptive process by constructing a dictionary. While this dictionary is crucial to the functioning of the algorithm, it appears as a side-effect in that, it is immediately discarded once LZW has succeeded in producing its code. The codes in the dictionary can be interpreted as having an inhibitory function on the output code. That is, finding a code in the dictionary allows the algorithm to skip a code. I would be curious to know about ways that similar processes arise in the context of biology, genetics. For instance, and simply with the aim to be provocative, to what extent might the production of peptides facilitate the catalyzation and constraining of more complicated protein interactions? -- Sent from: http://friam.471366.n2.nabble.com/ - .... . -..-. . -. -.. -..-. .. ... -..-. .... . .-. .
