[HydrogenBond]

I started to develop the idea of genetic hardware emulating brain software and the brain/mind software emulating hardware. The first would be genetic based chemical effects leading to genetic behavior and the second involves conscious learning that emulates genetic hardware.

For example, a woman can increase her sex appeal by changing the color of her hair, putting on make-up to give her a clear and radiant complexion and/or to make her lips look fuller or her eyes brighter. She can create the impression of longer legs with hi-heals, perkier breasts with a good bra, etc. All these things attempt to emulate genetic hardware that exists within nature, because some human female have these things genetically and these can trigger the gears and levers in males. But since most women do not have this genetic hardware, they have to emulate it. The bird with colorful feathers has that because of genetics. Humans can create their version of colorful feathers, if it does not exist genetically, by learning a procedure to create the emulation.

Once couples pair up, typically there is less need for as much hardware emulation because the two people have time to see who is under the mask. Human promiscuity is optimized with a higher ratio of sexual based hardware emulation. Monogamy may not be pure genetic hardware in action, by it requires a lower ratio of hardware emulsion, since the female doesn't have to wear makeup for her husband and the husband doesn't have to be use pretend charm or sing a song that works again and again.

Let me go back. The genetic hardware is a like a mechanical clock where gears and levers cause the woodcutter to come out, circle a couple of times, chop wood and then go back into the house. The software based hardware emulation can tinker with the wood cutter, since this is an edible region.

Say we edited the woodcutter by giving him a heavy stone ax instead of the genetic wood ax. The genetic gears and levers will still drive the mechanism, but we may have altered the center of gravity and increase the moment of inertia of the woodcutter. If this was a mechanical device, it would start to lose natural time due to the change of torque, and/or the woodcutter will start to wobble. He will still come out of the house, circle a couple of times, chop wood and go back. It looks similar, but is not the same as the version where we don't edit the woodcutter. Zero editing is genetic while maximum editing is connected to mind/brain.
