Modifiers are symbols that alter other symbols. The analogy for English is adjectives that modify nouns, or adverbs that modify other adjectives/adverbs.

Modifier behavior
All of these blend by averaging.

Directions, Duration, and Phase all behave similarly. Blending opposites (for example, North and South, or rising and setting) will generate the middle point, but which of the two middles will depend on the order of the two symbols, and the type.

Directions

Duration

Biomes
Used by both Biome Distributions and Floating Islands.

Blocks
Blocks are used to modify many different symbols in many different manners. For example, some blocks are considered liquids, used for lakes; some are considered ground types, used for world ground. Others are considered structure blocks, used for most features.

A given block can be in more than one category; for example, "Stone Block" can be either a ground type, or a structure type. "Packed Ice Block" can be used in ANY category; it is possible to have a world with packed ice for the ground and for the ocean.
