Biological specification always refers to function. An organism is a functional system comprising many functional subsystems. In virtue of their function, these systems embody patterns that are objectively given and can be identified independently of the systems that embody them.


So, biological information (=specification) is not a function of the DNA,  but can be calculated for  functional (sub)systems.

So, how does the biological information of performing photosynthesis differ from digesting nylon ? Can they be calculated?
