First you need a biological box B that accepts a certain input I, and returns a certain output O: it may or may not transform the input, or part of the input. That is a pair of inputs, the transformed and untransformed inputs are passed through a biological box, and it returns a pair of outputs.
black square denotes that it can't be transformed. Now an untransformable input that is indexed by a position domain, is called a symbol, which contents are expressed as , and p is its position.
A symbol can be read, and its reading can be either subsymbolic as when it goes like:
, copy-symbolic when it goes like:
, mutated symbolic when it goes like:
, or metasymbolic when it goes like:
Now out of those symbols you can get a whole design, and, of course, also a biological box with multi-reading capabilities, such that for different inputs it produces different outputs - that one can call a reader. In many occassions, these outputs can be instructions where there is a communication between one biological box and another biological box as in:
and this can defer the building of all such marvels, and chains of such boxes can be built.
Eventually, you also want your instructions to be modified depending on the role that the containing biological box should do. Though, well that's for another theorizing. Besides, one should also notice that all of these biological boxes, in spite of their differences, are all made of the same units, ultimately.
