Read the coded direction relationships carefully:
* $P\%Q$ means $Q$ is to the North-East of $P$
* $P\text{ \& }Q$ means $Q$ is to the South of $P$
* $P\wedge Q$ means $Q$ is to the East of $P$
* $P!Q$ means $Q$ is to the North-West of $P$

Based on the expression $D\%B\text{ \& }C\wedge A$, find the direction of $A$ with respect to $D$.
(NOTE: Assume all points are placed at equal step-distances according to standard grid placement).

Let's plot the points on a standard coordinate grid step-by-step:
1. $D\%B⟹B$ is North-East of $D$. Let's assume $D$ is at $(0,0)$, then $B$ can be represented as $(1,1)$.
2. $B\text{ \& }C⟹C$ is to the South of $B$. Moving 1 unit south from $(1,1)$ puts $C$ at $(1,0)$.
3. $C\wedge A⟹A$ is to the East of $C$. Moving 1 unit east from $(1,0)$ puts $A$ at $(2,0)$.

Now, look at the relative position of $A(2,0)$ with respect to $D(0,0)$:
Point $A$ lies directly along the positive x-axis from $D$, which corresponds to the East direction.
