artigen
Artigen is a fictional term used in speculative biology and science fiction to describe a class of organisms with modular, reconfigurable trait architectures. In artigen models, traits are discrete modules—such as defense, locomotion, metabolism, or sensory systems—that can be assembled and reassembled within individuals and lineages. The expression of a given module depends on environmental cues and epigenetic regulation, allowing organisms to adapt by altering trait composition rather than relying solely on slow, point mutations.
Evolutionary dynamics for artigen emphasize high evolvability through modularity, enabling rapid adaptation after environmental shifts or
In fiction and theoretical discourse, artigen serves as a device to explore how modular life forms would
Artigen is not an established scientific category; it is used as a speculative construct drawn from ideas
