ADNnë

ADNnë is a fictional concept used in speculative literature and media to describe a DNA-inspired computational paradigm. The term combines ideas from deoxyribonucleic acid with a linguistic flourish suggested by the diacritic ë, signaling a fusion of biology and language in its imagined framework.

In the ADNnë model, computation is organized around modular units called genes that encode sub-networks. A collection of genes forms chromosomes that determine higher-level architecture. Regulatory elements, or epigenetic modulators, influence when and how genes express their sub-networks, enabling dynamic adaptation without rewriting core code. Evolutionary operators such as mutation and recombination act on the genetic material, and fitness is judged by a predefined task or environment.

Proponents of ADNnë in fiction use the concept to explore evolvable artificial intelligence, self-modifying systems, and neuromorphic designs that adapt to changing contexts. It also appears in world-building as a basis for simulated ecosystems, where digital organisms compete and cooperate according to genetic-like rules.

Because ADNnë is fictional, it has no established methodology or empirical support in real-world research. Critics caution that such concepts risk conflating metaphor with mechanism, though they can provide useful thought experiments about adaptability, ethics, and the limits of evolution-inspired computation.
