The 64 coincidence between I Ching and DNA codons is always fascinating. Probably coincidence, but it’s one of those patterns that makes you pause for a moment.

Something got doubled six times in a row, big deal.

In the case of the i-ching it's literally six bits of binary (expressed in yarrow stalks).

In genetic codons there's four symbols instead of two, and three places instead of six, so the effect is the same. (Does base 4 have a name?)
