Francis Crick's statement of the central dogma of molecular biology. The companion cites it for the rule that sequence information cannot pass from protein back to nucleic acid. Omnidirectional heredity (P5) breaks this rule, since agent lineages write traits acquired during life back into their heritable description; the companion calls this a deeper break than one with the Weismann barrier.
