I agree that mutation is not evolution or adaption but 'corruption' of existing information.
Adaption is already 'coded' into the genome and only becomes prevalent due to your 'pressures', otherwise how can dna 'adapt' without a sequence to express that 'adaption'. So run it by me again, in the context of this topic, what is the process that alters or adapts an existing dna sequence by adding extra information ??...
A computer has the potential to be programmed any number of ways using only 1s and 0s but we don't say that any programmed behavior is "hard coded" into the computer simply because the computer currently contains 0s and 1s.
A very hot area of computing for the past 2 decades or so is programming compute systems with feedback loops so as to be self-tunring/optimizing. This is, high-level, what is meant by "machine learning" and what the marketers now refer to as "AI".
Re this context, frankly, I have no idea what the context is anymore because the line of questioning seems a bit obtuse. I'm sort of done with the thread as it doesn't appear to be heading anywhere productive or possibly even well-intentioned.
Have a good new year.
Hold on, you're done with this ?? . Cause im trying to clarify what the terms your using mean and then attempting to understand what you're saying in regards to the original comment i replied too ??, and because i'm asking for clarification, you feel its no longer 'productive or well intentioned' to continue ??, just wow...
Anyway, Your analogy of computer programs is a good one. But a computer program only 'runs' what it has been programmed to do. DNA sequences can only 'express' what they have been programmed to do.
You seem to be implying, DNA of a 'higher level organism' will do things not encoded into it's sequencing ??. No science or studies show that , let alone does any researcher/ geneticists even propose that.
All scientific literature i've ever seen, actually says the opposite of that and that's impossible and it just doesnt happen in the context of DNA, the Genome/ Phenotypes/ Genotypes et al. Its the basis of scientific classification and types etc ...
