To the best of our knowledge, it wasn't designed at all. It's more like giving a monkey a typewriter and millions of years, with a very crude feedback function (evolution/natural selection) that makes it very hard to backtrack out of a local maximum.
It's quite hard to interface with it because it's not designed to be interfaced with and the whole thing works pretty much by accident, and where changing any variable could throw it off.

There is no functional separation between components (some proteins do multiple unrelated jobs), there's no distinct hierarchy (layers just kinda flow into each other), and there's way too much global state that works seemingly something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5mwVv5NjhA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5mwVv5NjhA
