Programmable Memory

Remember long time ago I assert that the secret of unlimited memory in biological entity lies in the method(software) and mode of storage(hardware). Now this time I attempt to draw some ideas on the former. I am drawing this idea from my understanding of how DNA works.
The idea of Programmable memory is unlike what its name implies: It is memory that contain extra piece of conditionals that could alter the interpretation of the content in a range of unit. For instance, we could have commands like 'Jump to Node 6', ' Read from reverse', 'Add 1 from now', 'Minus 1 from now', 'End of Node 6', 'not operation from now on' or even 'If value of Node 5 is A/B, then execute any of the option above.' The amount of information that can be storage by such memory is much greater than exising one byte one unit model. Given biological entity's massive parallel processing, it is wise not to storage information in linear fashion. It is up to someone else to make a working model of this.
