Biology sometimes "jumps into the middle of instructions" when decoding DNA/RNA. The "instruction" length is always 3 nucleotides and the sequence usually has only one valid "entry point".

There are exceptions though. Some sequences do encode biologically useful information with sequences which not only overlap but do so with the starting points differing by a number not divisible by 3: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reading_frame#Multiple_reading...

You'd almost hope there was some younger more code-centric version of Douglas Hofstadter, figuring out how to write palindromic or multi-framed assembler that was semantically equivalent to, for example, his "Crab Canon".
