start and stop codons are not as clear cut as you're implying (there are often several start sites), and variable splicing adds a bunch more stochasticity.

There are also 6 potential open reading frames in any span of DNA. 3 phases and two directions. You're looking at it backwards though. The fact that there are options means the DNA can have the same meaning but a different electrochemical signature. It's a structural memory. It's both your genes and the necessary gradient to cause them to arrange in your chromosomes correctly.
You call it stochastic. I call it scaffolding.
What you're saying makes absolutely zero sense from a modern DNA research perspective.
I'm not here to represent the modern DNA research perspective. You seem to have adequate access to that already. I'm a programmer. If that means you must discount my point of view entirely then so be it.
