Triptychs and triplets.

Place holder for follow up on tonight's discussion about Francis Bacon, his triptychs, the triplet nature of codons, your Cedar allergy, medieval spies, the possibility of para-immunity, parasites, the possibility of expanding on the triplet nature of codons, the wobble position, the number 20, and the fact that the ribosome does wild and wonderful things like frameshifting and shunting, so art is not that far off the mark. More soon.

Meanwhile, in perusing some Bacon triptychs, I found a common theme in many of them that the first two heads are oriented in the same direction with the third facing the other two. Thus it seems that the Bacon triptychs, like codon triplets, also have a wobble position. Three examples below.
