Computational analysis reveals systematic divisibility relations and modular symmetries in genetic code nucleon counts, highlighting underlying arithmetic regularities.
This preprint reports arithmetic regularities in the standard genetic code. The analysis examines nucleon-count quantities — proton sums (P), neutron sums (N), total nucleon sums (T), and their difference (Δ = P − N) — across codon groups defined by the Rumer partition and by third-position chemical axes (Keto/Amino, Strong/Weak, Purine/Pyrimidine). It documents systematic divisibility relations, in particular by 37, together with cross-group equalities and modular symmetries. The complete data and code supporting this work — input and computed datasets, a reproducibility script, supplementary control scripts, a Monte Carlo analysis under a random-code null model, an independent verification script, and an interactive visualizer — are archived as a separate Zenodo record (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.20360037) and developed at github.com/RuslanKhafizov/genetic-code-arithmetic. Version v6 completes the revision of the Results section and brings its structure, terminology, notation, and treatment of dependencies into a consistent form.
