The biology
An uncorrected replication error lasts forever and passes to every descendant, so copying is checked and re-checked: the polymerase proofreads as it goes, and separate machinery corrects mismatches afterward. The fork runs one leading strand continuously and one lagging strand in Okazaki fragments. Newly made strands are told from old because the adenine in GATC is methylated only after a lag — so ‘new’ means not-yet-methylated. Ultraviolet light makes thymine–thymine dimers, which dedicated machinery excises.
Copying that conserves the address
In the reading of this book the fidelity of replication is conservation-grade because it must be: the address is a coordinate that has to survive intact, and dΣΤ = 0 governs its copying. The adenine base — the Earth base of the four — is where time is stamped, the methylation lag marking which strand is the fresh one. And thymine — the Mercury base, tied to the world nearest the Sun — is the site that takes the Sun's ultraviolet damage, exactly where the thymine dimers form.
Where this departs from current science
| Current science says | The Force of Time says |
|---|---|
| Proofreading and repair are biochemical error-correction. | They are conservation-grade copying of a coordinate that must survive — dΣΤ = 0 over the address. |
| The GATC methylation lag is just a strand-discrimination trick. | It is the adenine time-stamp — the Earth base marking the fresh strand. |
| Thymine dimers are ordinary photochemistry. | Thymine is the Mercury base; the UV damage lands on the sun-tied letter. |
