A lot said, but hardly nuff. The symbol is in fact also metron's motherbox circuitry which is in fact grafted into his suit. It is referred to as a circuit pattern in the same FC you mentioned. Given by Miracle to the Tatoo'd man who later gives it to the heroes in the watch tower.
Point is the symbol has several meanings, but it is also the motherbox circuitry on Metron's suit. I know the template the controllers used, no one said it was an mb, merely that it was like one, a cargo-cult version.
This whole debate about DS's comments is asinine, why would you waste your time arguing against fictional terminologies? The statement was thrown in there by Morrison, you're basically arguing against the same authors descriptions. We don't know what makes an MB really, except they have connection to the Source and are sentient computers.
The words used are entirely meaningless in this case. Motherboxes have never had clearly defined functions and vary from creator to creator.
