How this fits into the LOGOS–BIOS mapping
- Language unit level (codon): AUG, UUU, GCU — the graphemic representation.
- Lexeme level (amino acid name): Methionine, Phenylalanine, Alanine.
- Acronym level (single letter): M, F, A — used in protein sequences.
So in bio-semantics terms:
- Codon is the word spelling.
- Amino acid name is the dictionary definition.
- Single-letter code is the symbolic acronym used in higher-level syntactic structures (protein chains).
