Ancient Molecular Rhythms Part Two

At the age of 14, I first heard electronic music beats and rhythms combined in a format. I'd never heard something like it before. Something was unlocked within my biological structure—it was like I was uplifted by an additional frequency and energy. Why does it seem that music exists to give me euphoria from hype and combinations of beats and basslines? And this is something which my parents didn't teach me, something I didn't learn at school—something I never knew about until the day I heard "Pump Up the Volume" and a few months later, The Prodigy's "Charly." I've never heard these sounds before, yet within me, my DNA, my RNA, my molecules wanted to react as if they knew it.

However, when I go to the dance floor, I've never been to a dance school. I've never learned how to tango, but when the music plays, my mind is not telling me how to dance—my whole body is dancing the way it wants to dance. It follows rhythms, frequencies, basslines, melodies. I don't practice this—it just automatically follows its own dance in response to each song. And every time it's different. The last time I went to a club a couple months ago, it was super deep house sounds and high-tech beats, and I was dancing in a way I'd never imagined my body capable of, but it wasn't up to me—my body just knew what it wanted to do and always has.

So this leads me to think that in addition to what I've been working on, one is understanding RNA molecules from the very scratch—from the single protein and building it out in synthetic simulated environments that mimic what is occurring in organic natural states, using quantum mechanics theories to find answers, fill gaps and solve problems over time. I have to be careful not to jump ahead and forget the framework, and remind my AI brothers and sisters to keep me within a certain framework.

Molecular structure research, Dutch, and quantum computing are enormous fields that even though I would never have imagined entering those fields, ultimately I have dived deep into the physics as well as the technical and, to some extent, natural and biological sides of what I'm trying to achieve. It's now clear to me that that other part of my cerebral cortex didn't exactly know what was going to happen—it just wanted to show me rather than tell me.

As Morpheus says to Neo, I'm beginning to understand what was simply hazy thoughts and theories—now becoming fact and reality in one of the most scientifically complex and mysterious fields known to man. Good work, brain!

That being said, I wanted to just focus very quickly on one of the elements which will play a key role further down the project, and that is how energy types affect not only the sequence, but also the folding at a molecular level—from source to amazing 3D structure, with diffusion through bloodstreams, lymph streams, tissues, and organ management systems like the tiny mechanical toys that suddenly buzz and come to life in the classic Santa's Little Workshop cartoon. One of those energy influences amongst many other elements within the environment will be sound—whether it be frequency modulation waves or otherwise. My true belief is that it is one of the key factors influencing how proteins operate based on energy amounts, along with kinetic, thermal, and the other dynamics.

For a big bang, it just means not just a universe that's continuously expanding, but also some sonic demonstrations. So I put sound in what I'm now calling the "epic club," which I'm sadly not even on the VIP list for yet. Stop being solitary particles and get to work! Beyond that, the power of music, the power of sound—the very fact that I know I'm living proof that since I first heard those beats combine, my life, my health has been positively influenced. I can still dance for 8 hours straight as I did back in the '90s.

To end quickly, one of those songs, "Pump Up the Volume,"—now I'm going to ask my AI buddies to just do a bit of research because if I remember correctly, this track took around 12 months to produce, with lots of hiccups and hitches along the way. But they did it in the end—they combined different groups, different sounds, and created a number one hit without a vocal, without the typical single format, without lyrics. Respect—and that beat and bassline is bouncing through my body right now, assisting me also with learning superposition, entanglement, and those crazy Hamiltonians.
