A dog is just data,
read seven ways.
Meet Mochi. She weighs 8.4 kg and chases the postman. She is also two and a half billion base pairs, a few thousand proteins, and a storm of firing neurons. This is the same animal, decoded down each layer of its own machinery - and then put back together.

Three billion letters
Every cell carries the same book: a double helix of paired bases, A across from T and C across from G. Mochi's genome runs to roughly 2.4 billion base pairs across 39 chromosome pairs.
See all seven at once
Every layer is the same dog, just re-encoded. Stacked, the chain reads top to bottom: the genome writes the proteins, the proteins build the body, the body fires the signals, and the signals resolve back into Mochi.
Same dog, top to bottom. The genome at the top encodes the proteins in the middle; the proteins build the body that produces the signals at the bottom; the signals, decoded, are the animal you started with. Pick any node to open that layer.
The unified chart
One diagram for everything. Mochi sits at the core, ringed by all six upstream encodings - genome on the outside, hex packing just inside, each ring carrying its own live data and feeding the one within. Set her mood and the whole chart responds at once.
Outer rings flow inward · genome → transcript → protein → body → signal → compression → Mochi
