The Double Code Hypothesis of Ageing

2026-05-27

Abstract excerpt

Ageing remains one of biology’s most fundamental unresolved questions. Existing explanations often attribute ageing to stochastic damage accumulation, adaptive programmes, or interacting hallmarks, yet none fully explains why ageing emerges so broadly in organisms that undergo development. Here, I introduce the Double Code Hypothesis of Ageing, which frames ageing as a consequence of life’s dual inheritance system...
