Genetic code on the diadic plane

We introduce the simple parametrization for the space of codons (triples of nucleotides) by 8×8 table. This table (which we call the diadic plane) possesses the natural 2-adic ultrametric. We show that after this parametrization the genetic code will be a locally constant map of the simple form. The local constancy of this map will describe degeneracy of the genetic code.
