👉 Inherited computing, also known as computational inheritance, refers to the phenomenon where certain computational properties or behaviors are passed down through generations of a biological organism, often encoded in its DNA. This concept extends beyond traditional computing, where data and instructions are stored and processed digitally. Inherited computing involves the transmission of genetic information that influences how an organism's biological systems, including neural networks and other computational processes, function. For example, certain genetic mutations can lead to enhanced cognitive abilities or specific learning patterns that are inherited by offspring. This process highlights the deep connection between biology and computation, suggesting that the principles of information processing and inheritance are fundamental to both life and digital systems.
