This idea, which is not new in the fields of criminology or sociology, holds that the emergence of "honor codes", for example ones which admonish "snitching" and promote informal resolutions to conflict, can drive violent crime.
This enables a computational comparison of these theoretical trends, which helps us to identify the conditions that favor the emergence of linguistic codes.
This TC success was possible because of the numerous studies in the past years, leading to the diversification of TC families and to the emergence of new codes, whose decoding is based on the principle of iterative or turbo decoding.
Data analysis proceeded with reading and re-reading the transcripts to ensure the transcripts were fully explored and guarantee emergence of basic codes.
The emergence of the code is governed by the topology defined by the probable errors and is related to the map coloring problem.
Of course, this scenario for the emergence of the code does not preclude subsequent adjustments via biological evolution.
Importantly, there is essentially no doubt that, from the very emergence of the code, mRNAs (or, possibly, even chemically different primordial templates) were translated by triplets of nucleotides, even if only a few amino acids were encoded.
It has also the merit of presenting the emergence of a coding device culminating in the directed synthesis of the best possible catalysts – enzymes – as a process arising under the immensely efficient driving force of Natural Selection for greater fitness, by increasing the reproducibility of the autoreplicating system and eliminating unnecessary and parasitic reactions.
This goes well beyond the idea that the "emerging primal system was both metabolic and replicative" [ 210] by explicitly transfering the burden of emergence of the coding system to Natural Selection exerting its screening power on a self-sustaining, autoreplicating environment, thereby considerably increasing the chance for such a system to develop.
These results support the 'ambiguous intermediate' hypothesis for the emergence of divergent genetic codes, in which the adoption of a new genetic code is preceded by the evolution of proteins that can simultaneously accommodate more than one amino acid at a given codon.
