Figure 23

Stella octangula formed when compressing into a single geometrical figure the two genetic code tetrahedra shown in Figure 21, with each group of four amino acids being classified according to their corresponding letter [a to d'], and according to is sequential position from top to bottom and from left to right [i.e., starting with numbers 1 to 4 that correspond to a, and ending with numbers 29 to 32 corresponding to d']; notice that this geometry needs to be translucent in order to make visible its interior integrated by the smaller octahedron shown through its net below; or both structures can computationally rotate side by side in synchrony.
