symbiology

Keep in mind your definition that symbiology is "the set of mechanisms that translate between the coded symbols and the realized counterparts they represent."

(But the fitness landscape would presumably be blind to the internal symbiology of the replicators.)

Though the fitness landscape may not select for symbiology directly, that does not mean there is no fitness landscape or that the landscape is flat.

If symbiology could evolve stepwise, then it can be selected for.

But you have posited a 'Barrier' that seems to be based in the logic of symbiology and the nature of evolutionary processes, yet you can't devise the formal proof necessary to prove your assertion.
