A symbolic entity is not necessarily graphical (e.g. it doesn't necessarily have the physical shape of a letter), but its elements can be decoded and put in relation with an alphabet. In other words, a sequence of bit "1000010" in a RAM (a non-graphical entity) is a valid symbol since it can be decoded through ASCII rules as the letter "B". The same holds for an entity standing for the sound of a voice saying: "Hello", since it can be decomposed in discrete parts, each of them being associated to a letter of an alphabet. A discrete data whose elements can be decoded as tokens from one or more alphabets, without necessarily respecting syntactic rules. The structure of an array can be expressed mereologically. An array consists of a set of equally sized tiles. The tiles of an n-dimensional array are (n-1)-dimensional, the tiles of an (n-1)-dimensional array are (n-2)-dimensional and so forth... The tiles of a vector (1-dimensional array) are scalar symbolic data (that is symbolic data that are not subclasses of array). The `hasSpatialTile` relation, can be used to navigate between dimensions. The `hasPart` relation can be used to refer to the scalar data A symbolic object possesses a reductionistic oriented structure. For example, text is made of words, spaces and punctuations. Words are made of characters (i.e. atomic symbols).
