So you are describing 'mutation' then , yes ??. I don't have a problem with that. Any Adaption is already 'hard-coded' into the genome.

If 'mutations' are a randomised statistical occurrence, that is at odds with what the original commenter seems to be implying as an ' evolutionary developmental process' at the behest of an individual organism.

I think one would have to use a very liberal definition of mutation. #1 is not a "bit flip" due to a copying error or a cosmic ray.

So what exactly are you describing then as '... an ability for an organism to react to pressures' ??, bc as i understand it and in the context of this conversation, we're talking about 'evolutionary development' , ie dna 'mutation or change' , are you now only actually meaning 'adaptation' (which is already hard-coded at the cellular level) , which isn't a dna mutation ?? ....

Mutation is not due to evolution or adaptation. It's due to random copy errors. And adaptation is not hard-coded in any sense. Those two things are exact opposites.
