Abstract
The formula that life process follows is a major scientific mystery during centuries. Some people put programming thoughts into this field like Gates brought the idea that “Human DNA is like a computer program but far, far more advanced than any software we’ve ever created”[1]. Here we proposed a more specific hypothesis on this topic as that DNA is a set of p-code[2] and the enzymes which control chemical reactions and transport processes in cell metabolism are the basic instructions. Based on this hypothesis, some program models were developed successfully in this work to simulate the key processes of life phenomena: gene expression, cell division and differentiation, and life evolution. The results of these simulations show that there is a high level of similarity between life phenomena and computer programs; the process of cell differentiation and evolution of life can be explained in a programming way. These models also suggest that reflection technology[3, 4] is essential to life process. Besides, C-value paradox, N-value paradox[5] and pseudogene as well as some other biological problems could be also explained by these programming models. These conclusions imply that life phenomena are consistent with the concept of “process” in computer fields.
