Core Tip	Meaning in natural languages/codes and communication is context dependent. In contrast, artificial (formalizable, algorithm based) languages employ a ?universal“ syntax in order to determine meaning independent of the contextual circumstances. Additionally it is empirically evident that no natural language speaks itself as no natural code codes itself. It always requires living agents that share a competence to use (generate and interpret) these natural codes. Therefore I suppose that changes in the genetic code, which are of evolutionary relevance, are rather the result of fine-tuned processes by a large network of mobile genetic elements, persistent viruses, its defectives and other genetic parasites that alter DNA sequences. In this respect DNA remains as ecosphere habitat for social interacting RNA inhabitants.
