The degeneracy of the genetic code and Hadamard matrices
  The matrix form of the presentation of the genetic code is described as the cognitive form to analyze structures of the genetic code. A similar matrix form is utilized in the theory of signal processing. The Kronecker family of the genetic matrices is investigated, which is based on the genetic matrix [C A; U G], where C, A, U, G are the letters of the genetic alphabet. This matrix in the third Kronecker power is the (8*8)-matrix, which contains 64 triplets. Peculiarities of the degeneracy of the vertebrate mitochondria genetic code are reflected in the symmetrical black-and-white mosaic of this genetic (8*8)-matrix. This mosaic matrix is connected algorithmically with Hadamard matrices unexpectedly, which are famous in the theory of signal processing, spectral analysis, quantum mechanics and quantum computers. A special decomposition of numeric genetic matrices reveals their close relations with a family of 8-dimensional hypercomplex numbers (not Cayley's octonions). Some hypothesis and thoughts are formulated on the basis of these phenomenological facts.
