Man: Interstellar Transmission of Man:
"The biological corpus
Is not strictly ‘animate’ at any point.
Given that ‘ordering’
Of the corpus design
Is accomplished through such codings as DNA/RNA
Which are essentially angle and frequency modulation.
Then we may go on to suggest
That ‘life’ as we customarily define it
Could be affected at a distance–
"The gravitation and radiation effects
Could modulate the DNA/RNA
Angle and frequency instructions
At astronomical remoteness–
Life could be ‘sent on.’
"Within the order of evolution as usually drawn
Life ‘occurred’ as a series
Of fortuitous probabilities in the primeval sea.
It could have been sent or ‘radiated’ there.
That is, the prime code
Or angle and frequency modulated signal
Could have been transmitted
