SlyStalker:
What is epigenetic memory? I've seen it around a lot on the forums, usually associated with some kind of rage and frustration, actually. I've looked it up, but I need a simpler explanation for a non-biologist peasant like this (I like physics instead). Elements of DNA which can be added to a descendant's DNA as a result of experiences or something like that? Also not sure how this links into getting functional robots. The one I just started yesterday is up to 260k cycles, and it still has a long time to go, but everything seems fine so far.
Botsareus:
As long as you can extract the DNA of the robot and it is still usable it is fine.
Epigenetic memory is simply memory that gets preserved into a robots kid. If the DNA evolves around specific memory being a certain value it can cause problems.
