Surely there are better "parameters of energy" than "mature plant size"

Mature plant size is an important parameter.

But thinking today I was struck by a thought that there is a hidden
mathematics in equation form in the ACTG coding of the genome.

What I mean is that there is a math formula for the energy pathways in
a plant for small leaves and mature size as well as for the large
leafed plant and mature size. Suppose, just a guess, that it is some
trigonometry function that connects leaf size with mature plant size
and suppose it is secant function.

Now suppose we had the full genome of rhubarb and of knotweed before us
and all we see is the letter codes of A,C,T,G. But now, let us replace
those letters with digits and ask ourselves can we find a string of
those coding that is a secant function in mathematics.

So what I am getting at is a complete tie and connecting of mathematics
to biology genome and physics. So the physicist works out the energy
pathway of rhubarb plant of leaf size and mature plant size and finds
(for the sake of this argument) that the pathway of energy is a secant
function. Now the biologist jumps in and with a replacing of the
letters with numbers and looks for a string of those genomes that is a
secant function.

You see, I believe we can do better with the genome, instead of A,C,T,G
codes that there are numbers involved and as we assign each letter with
a number that patterns will be seen and hint of a mathematical
structure.

Perhaps the energy pathway is not a trig function but a exponential
function or some other function and suppose it is a rather rare
function. And would it not be exciting to replace the letters ACTG with
numbers and the rare function comes popping out of the genome for
rhubarb or knotweed.

The Genome project of A,C,T,G reminds me of past glory days of physics
when spectral lines were just coming onto the scene and how spectral
lines would transform physics and all the other sciences and
engineering and technology.
And I think the Genome project will make a huge impact on the world as
spectral line physics did in the 20th century. And that is a good
analogy of the spectral lines of the 20th century to the genome project
of the 21st where one was a window into the workings of physics and the
other is a window into how biology works.
