Machine Zygote: Causal Biparental Heredity Before Learning in a Germline--Soma Artificial Agent
Artificial ontogeny, developmental encodings, robot reproduction, and inherited controllers are established research directions, yet a narrower question remains: can a newborn artificial agent exhibit measurable biparental heredity before learning, and can that dependence be isolated causally rather than inferred only from parent-offspring resemblance? We introduce Machine Zygote, a computational germline-soma architecture designed to test this question. Two parental germlines are independently mutated and recombined into a zygote that parameterizes development of an initially generic eight-mo
