Proposal: Waving Hands
In “Synthesis”, replace “Processing from left to right, take the first 3 Nucleotides in the Genome not yet processed in this step and follow the corresponding instructions in the rule “Codons”. Repeat as long as there are at least 3 Nucleotides left to be processed.” with:-
Processing them from left to right: for each set of three consecutive Nucleotides in the Genome, follow the corresponding instructions in the rule “Codons”.
Running the entire genome, so that “TAGTACC” would cause TAG, AGT, GTA, TAC and ACC to all be triggered in sequence, rather than just TAG and TAC before stopping.
Not sure if it’s intentional that the current synthesis process will cause an otherwise stable Genome to rotate between doing three very different things each time that it’s synthesised.

The rotating between three different states was intentional; I was thinking the periodicity might be an interesting dynamic. However, the proposed alternative looks interesting as well and allows for more things to happen per Synthesize action, so I intend to defer to the rest of the group on this proposal.
