We discuss the similarity of the degeneration structure of the genetic code with a purely number theoretic “divisors code.” The most interesting thing about our observation is not that there is a connection between number theory and the genetic code, but the simplicity of the rule. We hope that the observation and the naive model presented in this paper will spur ideas for other models of the degeneracy of the genetic code. Maybe, the ideas of this article can also be used in the area of artificial life to synthesize artificial genetic codes.
