Nonpolar: G A V L I M P
Aromatic: F Y W
Polar: S T C N Q
Basic (+): K R H
Acidic (−): D E
Stop: UAA UAG UGA
Binary encoding: U=00 · C=01 · A=10 · G=11 → Codon = 6 bits = Hypercube vertex
Speculative visualization · 64 codons naturally map to 2⁶ hypercube vertices · Adjacent vertices differ by one nucleotide (single-bit mutation) · 20 amino acids + 3 stops form degeneracy clusters
