In the philosophy of science, we can consider debates about the nature of non-causal explanations in general (e.g. Reutlinger, Saatsi 2018; Lange 2017) and then especially those in the life sciences (e.g. Huneman, 2018; Kostić 2020). These debates are accompanied by the development of a new mechanism that is becoming the major response to the nature of scientific explanation in the life sciences (e.g. Craver, Darden 2013; Craver 2006); and also by the development of a design explanation (e.g. Eck, Mennes 2016) that represents a modern variant of a functional explanation.

In this paper, we will methodically:

1. evaluate the plurality of explanatory strategies in contemporary science (chapter 2).

2. describe the mechanical philosophy and mechanistic explanation (Glennan 2016; Craver, Darden 2013, etc.) (chapter 3).

3. explicate the role of mechanisms in code biology (Barbieri 2015, 2002, etc.) and its relation to the new mechanism (chapter 4).

4. fulfill the main goal of the paper – to apply mechanistic explanations in code biology (Barbieri 2019, etc.) and to apply their suitability for this scientific domain (chapter 5).

在科学哲学中，我们可以考虑关于一般非因果解释性质的辩论（例如 Reutlinger，Saatsi 2018；Lange 2017），然后尤其是生命科学领域的辩论（例如，Huneman，2018；Kostić 2020）。这些争论伴随着一种新机制的发展，该机制正在成为对生命科学中科学解释性质的主要回应（例如，Craver，Darden 2013；Craver 2006）；并且还通过开发代表功能解释的现代变体的设计解释（例如 Eck，Mennes 2016）。

在本文中，我们将有条不紊地：

1. 评估当代科学中的多种解释策略（第 2 章）。

2. 描述机械哲学和机械解释（Glennan 2016；Craver, Darden 2013 等）（第 3 章）。

3. 解释机制在密码生物学中的作用（Barbieri 2015, 2002 等）及其与新机制的关系（第 4 章）。

4. 实现论文的主要目标——在代码生物学中应用机械解释（Barbieri 2019 等）并将其适用于该科学领域（第 5 章）。
