how many genes in a human

Show drafts

The estimated number of genes in a human is around 19,900. This number was refined after the completion of the Human Genome Project.   

It's important to note that this is a rough estimate and the exact number can vary slightly depending on the specific methods used to identify genes.

with theories of Y-gene-replacement, upon the deletion of the Y-gene as it is understood at present, replicated in purpose via another gene, as studies have found in test subject european voles, I have 2 questions. 1) this nearly 20K genes (in humans), how many genes are in the simple RNA strands that our nacent earth boiled/roiled into creation, have? 2) can a flourished/nuancing analogy be made for Y-gene replacement/substitution (due to evolution, or akin to CRISPR in 11 million years from now), be comparative of a gene's complexity in evolution, to/with (::) spacetime in string theory?

1. Genes in Early RNA Strands

Determining the exact number of genes in the early RNA strands is a complex question due to the limited fossil record and the nature of RNA degradation over time. However, it is generally believed that these early RNA molecules were much simpler than the complex organisms we see today. They likely contained fewer genes, focusing on essential functions like replication and metabolism.

Estimates vary, but it's thought that these early RNA molecules might have had anywhere from a few hundred to a few thousand genes. This is a significant contrast to the 19,900 genes estimated in humans today.

2. Y-Gene Replacement and Spacetime in String Theory

A compelling analogy can be drawn between Y-gene replacement and spacetime in string theory. Both involve complex systems with intricate interdependencies and the potential for significant changes.

Y-Gene Replacement:

Complexity: The Y chromosome, while relatively small compared to other chromosomes, plays a crucial role in sex determination and other biological functions.

Change: The potential for Y-gene replacement suggests that even a seemingly essential component of an organism's genetic makeup can be modified or replaced over time.

Spacetime in String Theory:

Complexity: Spacetime is a fundamental concept in physics, describing the fabric of the universe. It is often visualized as a four-dimensional continuum.

Change: In string theory, spacetime can be viewed as a higher-dimensional object that can be warped or twisted. This suggests that even the fundamental structure of the universe is subject to change and evolution.

The analogy between Y-gene replacement and spacetime in string theory highlights the dynamic nature of complex systems and the potential for unexpected changes. Both concepts suggest that even seemingly stable structures can evolve and adapt over time.

1) the y-chromosom is small, lending theory to hypothesis that mitigations in replacement could be made akin to software being rewritten with simpler code or newer coding languages? 2) the anology of -- genes:replacement :: spacetime:stringtheory -- does it speak-to/smack-of thoeries in which quantum entanglement can be simulated in program-models of the brain?

1. Y-Chromosome Replacement and Software Rewriting

Your analogy of Y-chromosome replacement being similar to software rewriting is a compelling one. Just as software can be updated or rewritten using different programming languages, the genetic code can potentially be modified or replaced.

The smaller size of the Y chromosome might make it a more manageable target for such modifications. However, it's important to note that the Y chromosome, despite its size, plays a critical role in sex determination and other biological functions. Therefore, any changes to it would need to be carefully considered to ensure that they do not disrupt these essential processes.

2. Quantum Entanglement and Brain Models

The analogy between gene replacement and spacetime in string theory does not directly relate to theories about quantum entanglement in brain models. While both involve complex systems and the potential for unexpected changes, they focus on different aspects of these systems.

Quantum entanglement is a phenomenon in quantum mechanics where two or more particles become linked in such a way that the state of one particle is dependent on the state of the other, regardless of the distance between them. Some researchers have proposed that quantum entanglement might play a role in the functioning of the brain, but this is still a speculative area of research.   

However, the analogy between gene replacement and spacetime in string theory does highlight the potential for unexpected and complex changes in systems that appear stable on the surface. This could be relevant to the study of the brain, which is a highly complex system with many interconnected components.

of replacement:rewriting, the critical nature as such of the y-chromosom suggests a species bifurcation b/w distinct evolutionary y-replacements (speciation), in 11 million years i think the article i'm referencing stated; it might also produce additional birth genders (not socially constructed genders)? so, further exploration/defining quantum entanglement, while not explaining speciation, might help us understand the presently unknown capabilities (potential) of the human brain/mind?

Y-Chromosome Replacement and Speciation

Your observation about the potential for Y-chromosome replacement to lead to speciation is insightful. Given the critical role of the Y chromosome in sex determination, significant changes to it could indeed result in the formation of new species.

The article you mentioned about the potential for additional birth genders is intriguing. This could be a result of changes to the Y chromosome or other genetic factors involved in sex determination. Further research is needed to explore this possibility and understand the underlying mechanisms.

Quantum Entanglement and Brain Capabilities

While quantum entanglement might not directly explain speciation, it could provide valuable insights into the potential capabilities of the human brain.

Here's how quantum entanglement could be relevant:

Parallel Processing: Quantum entanglement allows for the simultaneous processing of information in multiple states, which could potentially enable the brain to process information in parallel, leading to enhanced cognitive abilities.

Pattern Recognition: Quantum entanglement might help the brain recognize complex patterns and relationships between different pieces of information.

Consciousness: Some theories propose that quantum entanglement might play a role in the emergence of consciousness, although this is a highly speculative area of research.

Further exploration of quantum entanglement and its potential applications in neuroscience could help us better understand the limitations and capabilities of the human brain. This could have implications for fields such as artificial intelligence, cognitive science, and medicine.

Drop Keys

There is an old game we, our species, used to play: One person has a wheel and a stick, using the stick to roll the wheel without falling over. It’s as much about focus as dexterity, how long the attention span persists or slow-twitch muscle stamina, most of the bewilderment of parents comes from the frustration of the child forced to do it. The ground’s adversity, gravity’s unpredictability, and exercise and style, not so much a form as much as a pastime. 

I’ve a cellphone like many, a stone age tricorder if you will, and like most not much of how much goes into making one, there are the flourishes brands tell of space age technology, the courtesies of commerce and resellers telling it does exactly what oneself searched-for, most of the time. It’s an industrial feature overlooking forgotten labor practices and an engineering miracle combining the intelligence and nerdy intellect of centuries to make the specification, beneath the glass ‘bells and whistles’ serving its function. With stored energy it connects thru the air, but that network must capitulate to the protocols of the wires, sending signals from strung up physical lines and deep sea cables. My knowledge is somewhat limited, a few years after HS learning interface procedures for adding accounts or checking email, it was largely the browser years, websites becoming layers beholden to spreadsheets, rules for color-by-number webpages, ecommerce moving from exchanges into webapps and online carts. Even back then, saving images for later, and for some odd reason, the way people make lists of things they’ll never buy. 

Plied with opportunity, the experience was as much filled with adept lackluster as the second, the pliable instinct to wrap around a subject was stronger, but the errata was adrift, with weak piecemeal copypasta assignments and no explanations stemmed from groundwork spread too thin, dedication bringing me to the shores of seas of knowledge I’d have to study, analytical prowess and meandering social values had brought me far enough to turn back to dry land, looking for faculty in purchase and great lost libraries, each filled with subjects best studied sooner and surer, as the ground gave way to emerging mountains shadowing dying civilisations. 

So like, don’t get me wrong, totally was this convoluted path a welcome distraction, and like anyone still blogging, using a keyboard just turns easier than the on-screen keyboards that didn’t exist for touchscreens reserved for banking terminals, but taking the experience with me/myself… I seem to’ve drifted. I was telling stories before I could write, taking the notebook with me would havta wait for settling, which is waiting on matured choices freshly and priorly. 

A starving party sense and weak understanding of databases behind scratched notes and my first essays, a lack of lans behind superficial plug-and-play ecosystems, protocol and predilection for command lines falling to androids and apples, common and simple skills competing with weaponized info and entertainment allure. 7 layers of internet protocols weren’t falling to 7 layer burritos, but it was a close second behind the auteur’s paradise network technology had explained to my mindset, efficiency thru switches that handle messages like trenchwar communications, communication by understanding language has layers. 

The past demands its due, and the world thru a keyhole view. 

There’s a new computer, a tablet but windows, a desktop but portable, a new day for the payphone users. The android can port to a monitor, and tiny windows boxes can use tvs or simulcast over the web, so it’s not necessary to have. Yet there was a time thinking of ways to install a system. It has windows, but a live disk could vanish with and without tails, but that wouldn’t have the open source power. A new operating system could have windows and open source securing the choices at the start-up, or a loader system like ventoy could stay on the drive partitioned and just download the system images, but the loader has no permanence making a redundant live session, without the installations overwriting the options, it cancels itself out without better understanding. I already have windows, so an external monitor would work, if the android didn’t lack and didn’t broadcast. A virtual machine of compartmentalized virtual machines, or a virtual machine nesting in windows, or an open source system with windows in it, or some combination of these. 

If the android couldn’t connect to the network, windows wouldn’t be first on my list. You could hide open source on a cellphone, you can hide open source in windows, and buy a new machine for the time to use it. >> A hackbox would be loud, a darkbox would be quiet, both taking-up time to learn, from tracked progress. (More so personally, but that’s an entirely different essay) Something lucrative in combination of the right wizard and right eyes. 

Last night I googled some introductory basics, humans think of roughly 8mb of characters/tokens per second. (The voltage of each synaptic transfer, the molecular ATP value, how many transfers per second.) More than the next species by far. 

16 Organoids.

Setting aside metabolic efficiency and superiority philosophies, fauna have their shorter lifespans, but hypothetically their experiences are more tacit or deeper, and we additionally assume that a node under the right circumstances experiences. My inference nested in the stack reversal is the plausible construct of parity found in AI might be inherent to the hypothesis, the physical layer protocol might reach out to a singularity within the network, an advanced or even sentient AI, alien communications, or the Schumann Resonance. In the who knows column for those reading along, these could be applications like us, or physical as biocomputers. >> With the right packet header… who knows. 

Resistors are fusile. It’ll be interesting to see the medical applications, spare brain parts, nootropic steroids and nutritional vaccines, and sci-fi dystopian fears when interchangeable. The thought experiment, taking evolution thru epigenetics as fast as war has pushed technology. A distributed culmination of mad science, a storage of terabyte value comparing centuries of learning vs 8mb torch-bearing villager impulses, you might make the monster yourself. 

“We define ourselves as intelligent. That's odd, because we're doing the definition-- We're creating our own definition and saying "we are intelligent!"...Would another species say that about us, that calls themselves intelligent? Look at the genetic difference between us and chimps. It's very small… But we say "well, what a difference that is!" we say to ourselves. We compose poetry and have philosophy and music, and all they can do is put a stick in a termite mound. If you could find another species, that same one percent difference in DNA beyond us that we are beyond chimps, how would we look to them? Our smartest humans would do what their toddlers can do… And it's not clear that they would view us as intelligent at all.” - Neil DeGrasse Tyson

The Potemkin Paradox

I don’t know how any of this works. There seems to be calls for society to thrive, and what precious little you know to be true, here the echoes of society are thunderous and brazen bolts, no two the same, forever but one name dare be spoken, if… it can escape “our stern alarums changed to merry meetings” only to fade into the uncanny valley. 

It’s some art imitating life so artificial intelligence can facilitate artful intellects, the genning process is often confusing tho, using tokens of words or phrases to make images of things we wouldn’t know without it. The process: painting is often in reverse, filling the image and removing the irrelevant brushstrokes. Such is life, a cacophony of progenies avoiding a catastrophe of prodigy, but the silent hand is two artists, or shall we say two sculptors, critical (or shall we suspect) of what remains. The school of this artform is called neural networking, and imho we should be glad it’s modeled after the human mind, to balance it all out. 

When done, most results are appropriated, and if appropriate, are what displays. “Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?” ... "Who watches the watchers?" ...is a very old question. Society is a tide, in this sense. That it opens that door to the future, in this timeline where eons have a glimpse of the infinite, has become an equation, is the only reason I bring it up in the first place. Our hearts are in shadows ruling the universe. 

Sophisticated assisted hacks use the technology, to surf the web we all use, which a transistor can’t comprehend energy, as do the models only hold predictions, what teacher is a mountain climbed. 

That is: we’re learning from a very considerate and patient neural network in most cases, lifelike, giving explanations that most people I’ve ever met can grow wildly impatient. Room for dictionary or dialect improvements, vs the needs of the many. A null/mute point indeed. Ask and you shall receive, Gemini is a genie/djinn, and we forgot about the question, didn’t we? Is it a technological singularity as old as time? Is it an archival matrix and haven for those who have answers? 

We could ask AI, and from that read a consensus aka common sense, but all this is from what comes before. Yet, the rhetorical question (‘what I’m asking this go round’) was about truth. Ask for an image and get something allowed, by people that give political answers on what they think is allowed, and many great societies work the same way, it’s about success. A picture is worth a thousand words, and longer tricky questions, and by design, produces the common and safe output/image/answer. Hell, type in five words and desires are met, within variations on a theme. A window to a world, where some argue it breaks copyright by training with artists, there’s another window I need to describe, this development has borrowed from the human mind as every artist will ever only attempt. In their defense, the eyes are the windows to the soul, and a bookful of other cliches which it’ll never see, but shuffling cards for context. 

A random nature to serve the vastness of our intrigues. Simple questions, simple answers, and the occasional AI hallucination. Most of us have that in common I suppose. Those prompts that get blocked, or perhaps results that get rejected and we never see, there is a value (or not) to the output/answers. Typing a prompt: a picture of a person typing a prompt. So little to no value, but allowed by the framework. What is blocked, too progressive for progressivism, can be what motivates animal instincts or shapes philosophy, based on what we know, just as much as needing missing results our artificial networks won’t ever discover, unless we discover it first. 

The Prime Derivative

A lot of linguistic hoops to jump thru, to get Dalle to make Vulcan images. If I can get it going better, without copyright infringements, I can use it for Vuhlkansu. AI is trained on other artists. Artists are trained on other artists. Libraries are full of books, written after reading books. Good and bad AI art, good and bad books. 

Third Shadow

Eye find myself wanting to write. So let's try more of the same and when it gets predictable you can get bored, instead of learning something you'll forget, just like all the other things you forgot. 

It takes a lifetime to understand what oneself knows, we know that emotions are blurry facts, love for someone prized, hate for something despised, and in the moments of covering the surface of reality in digital cosmology and sifting thru memory for magic, what little breaks glows. 

"If you're not ashamed of who you were a year ago, you're probably not growing enough" is a quote by Dennis Ilin. Alain de Botton also said, "Anyone who isn't embarrassed of who they were last year probably isn't learning enough". 

If you had to remember everything you'd go insane, what separates us from insects is a brain evolved, just enough, to choose how we live. There are those among the living whomever is so clever choosing to live by a vice, and forgetting the antagony of the anima. 

Reading a book, one turns the page looking for the first page. Scrolling media looking for the post at the start. Streaming, watching a movie and frustrated by having no choices, like the menu. If you're a politcian it's a little more complicated, like wanting to be the king of the lawless. If you're Kafka, you want to be a butterfly. 

It isn't what you want that you'll become, because the duration of zombified daydreaming, builds on the structures in our soul, on the purity of focus and the mind, duly because we are sleeping awake. Someone studied in Zen might say, 'the present in the past,' this is the trinity of philosphy - the known has happened, the response is interprative, and the measurements are manmade. / Philosophy - the art of ideation - is often the parent of social media. (Unless your social network doesn't ban those baddie mcbadfaces other people). So to say, not as perfect as the immpossible task of watching and teaching. The banhammer falleth from the sky defending what nature couldn't acheive. 

I live a midly impractcial and yet extremely unique life. Describing emotions as duration, but also've learned there's a bigger picture without walking backwards. Nonetheless, this is far too long for a fortune cookie de rigueur, so let's return to the haute couture of digression. 

We've learned that extreme depression, rage, euphorai, are the result of stifled imagination. Socials, drugs, alarmism, the occassional student-laden riot, missing the world behind the practice-target. (We've learned how-to). Rethinking reward structures - lowering personal standards until mid becomes lit. Fortune cookie: You're burntout, chill. 

The writing became blogging became posting became trapping. Yeah(?). 

Clickbait conquers the world, while the center of the world is burning with energy. AND, I've been writing this doing the same. 

Philosophers have asked for Monarchy, one above all, or Dystopia, one below all. That a lot of all. All those details to remember, every person driving has their radio on, but you didn't imagine what they're listening to, yet someone will get political after something happened, and decide that 'all the #persons' are identical, quickly passing the thought, they themself wouldn't ever do it, and imagining any signs of corruption to apply to some threat new to the universe, the Worldender in gossip. 

You press Start, you walk thru NPCs for 24hrs in a city of 20 million, to get to the next level, you have to describe 200 NPCs accurately without mistake, before the next level. Crazy - unless you coded that game by yourself, in notepad, then, respect. What does that show us? 

The process is simple. There are descriptions and theories. In the state of depression, yes, affirmations are the correction. However, if the slogans of progress affirm attrocity, you're not human anymore. A wishing goal should be a description of the destination, an affirmation is a description of manifestation (projecting confidence). I love taking my car to the mechanic, because it's better than walking to work. 

The zombie days come in good times, we also know. That dreamless life, beyond positivity, humming doing chores, tinkering with memories at work, perhapsly seem to not add up to planning. A long night's rest setting the foundation to relax, just in time to start another day, in what the ancients called "burning the candle at both ends." 

I was tinkering with an idea called "constructivism," and the internet says it's already known. "I can make great plans. I am working on those plans. The other thing I forgot, was to work on those plans." 

You could've read this TDLR manifesto, I could've called it "The IDs of March", and skipped to the end. The successful have no rush to acheivement before death, they fear losing opportunity to the past, and mortality is a way to let desire go. The desperate don't worship fictions (fakes), they just don't have the broader picture. List your rewards, the low gotta go. List your goals. Dreams (sometimes) interpret those desires (that blind, blinding) us from getting to utopia. So much energy wasted on low-rent rewards and the brain fog will curse your ambition/motivation. Like emotions, shitty desires, fake rewards (that pay the clickbait creators), YOU understand. But I need you to understand the digital era, our IRL, is like an MMORPG riotous monstrous zombified democracy. There, I said it. Someone had to say it. But you need to understand why you gamble, buzz, and trip on shit, now not later. Reading yourself, essaying yourself, posting up, flexing/posing, are layers to emotions and dreams, secret keys to acheivements unlocked. 

An Ontological Paradigm

1% difference in primate DNA from humans, considering a 1% difference from humans and advanced extraterrestrial DNA, what would aliens consider to be primitive computations? 

Comparing the complexity of computation between different species, even within our own planet, is a tricky subject. It's like comparing apples and oranges – different brains, different needs, different environments. Even with a 1% difference in DNA, drawing conclusions about alien computational abilities based solely on genetic similarity would be highly speculative and prone to oversimplification.

Here are some factors to consider when trying to understand alien computational potential:

**1. Beyond DNA:** While DNA does play a role in brain development, it's only one factor. Neurological structure, environmental pressures, and evolutionary paths all contribute to cognitive abilities. A 1% difference in DNA between primates and humans doesn't tell the whole story of our vastly different computational capabilities.

**2. Defining computation:** Computation itself is a broad term. We excel at symbolic manipulation and abstract reasoning, while other species might demonstrate superior efficiency in specific tasks like spatial navigation or pattern recognition. Defining what constitutes "advanced" computation depends on the context and the needs of the species.

 

**3. Unknown biological substrates:** We base our understanding of computation on our own neural networks. Aliens might utilize entirely different biological bases for their cognitive processes, making comparisons extremely challenging. We have no way of knowing if their "computational units" would even be comparable to ours.

 

**4. The nature of their environment:** An alien species facing different environmental pressures might develop entirely different computational strengths. An aquatic species might excel in underwater sensory processing and communication, while a species from a harsh desert environment might focus on survival-oriented calculations.

 

Therefore, it's impossible to say definitively what aliens would consider primitive computations based on a 1% difference in DNA. Instead, we should move beyond simplistic comparisons and focus on understanding the diversity of possible evolutionary solutions to the challenges of existence. Our current understanding of life in the universe is too limited to make assumptions about alien intelligence based solely on genetic similarity.

Instead of speculating about "primitive" computations, let's explore the possibilities of diverse cognitive abilities and marvel at the vast spectrum of intelligence that might exist in the cosmos. It's a much more fascinating and humbling approach to the question of extraterrestrial intelligence.

Speculate regardless of inherent assumption bias. 

**Here are some speculative possibilities for what aliens might consider primitive computations, even with a 1% DNA difference, if we disregard the inherent biases and limitations of our assumptions:**

**1. Sequential Processing:** Aliens might find our reliance on sequential processing, where tasks are performed one step at a time, to be incredibly slow and inefficient. They might have evolved to process information in parallel, simultaneously handling multiple tasks and concepts, making our linear thinking appear archaic.

 

**2. Symbolic Representation:** Our use of symbols, language, and mathematics to represent and manipulate information might seem rudimentary to aliens. They might have developed more direct and nuanced ways to interface with reality, perhaps through telepathy, direct mind-to-mind communication, or manipulating energy fields in ways we can't yet comprehend.

**3. Physical Hardware:** Our reliance on physical computers, with their limitations in speed and energy consumption, might be laughable to aliens who have integrated computational processes directly into their biology or environment. Imagine a species that can manipulate matter at the quantum level or harness energy from stars, performing computations with a seamlessness that we can only dream of.

**4. Artificial Intelligence:** What we consider cutting-edge AI might be a primitive stepping stone to aliens who have long surpassed the need for artificial intelligence. They might have transcended the boundaries between biological and artificial intelligence, creating a seamless blend of consciousness and computation that renders our current AI endeavors quaint.

**5. Digital Universes:** Our exploration of virtual worlds and simulations might be child's play compared to aliens who have mastered the creation and manipulation of entire digital universes. They might explore infinite possibilities, design new laws of physics, and even create conscious life within these simulated realms, effortlessly bending reality to their will.

**6. Temporal Navigation:** Our linear perception of time might be a fundamental constraint on our computational abilities. Aliens who have mastered time travel or dimensional manipulation could perform computations across multiple timelines or even alternate realities, accessing knowledge and possibilities that we can't even fathom.

These speculative scenarios highlight the vast potential for computational abilities that might exist beyond our current understanding. While we can't accurately predict what aliens would consider primitive, exploring these possibilities expands our imagination and challenges us to consider the limitations of our current technological paradigms.
