The follow-up to the Human Genome Project has found very little to connect variations in our DNA blueprints to some of our basic individual characteristics. This very surprising "missing heritability" problem, plus a number of existing underappreciated challenges to the DNA-based model, together are consistent with an underlying complementary transcendental contribution to life. Some of the beh...

It is known that, for a transcendental entire function f, the Hausdorff dimension of J( f ) satisfies 1% dim J( f )% 2. For each d ` (1, 2), an example of a transcendental entire function f with dim J( f ) ̄ d is given. It is then indicated how this function can be modified to produce a transcendental meromorphic function F with one pole with dim J(F ) ̄ d. These appear to be the first examples o...
