good point -- though the DNA is non-coding, it's structural conformation alone can affect the expression of other factors in the coding DNA.

On the surface, it is very easy to attribute the complexity produced by natural selection as a non-random or directed process. Unfortunately, if you look at the number of failures which were required to come up with this arrangement (and the subsequent spread of the most fit type), it's still just as random as any other natural mutation process.

How long until some Akhibara electro-wizard overclocks your DNA with LN?

What's a few hundred rem among friends?

Anyways, seems like an interesting idea.
