=== Instinct'''_'''Code ===

Instinct-Code is the constantly-evolving programming that governs the M2 Nanomachines' behaviour, including such things as Outbreak Protocol and the criteria for ascension to [[Machina Development|Category 4]], as well as all their accumulated data which is gathered from interpreting external stimuli and the results of their actions. Utilizing their networking, a mass of M2 Nanomachines will identify the problem and consult their Instinct-Code to determine what they will do. Once a conclusion is reached by the M2 Nanomachines, they will carry out the operation. Should their solution result in something new and beneficial, the data is integrated into their Instinct-Code. M2 Nanomachines are constantly sharing their Instinct-Code with other units in a given mass. When fluids from one [[M2-Based Life-Forms|M2-Based Life-Form]] mix with those of another, the two masses of M2 Nanomachines update each other and become both uniform and stronger. M2-Based Life-Forms are naturally willing to facilitate this mixing of fluids, leading to fairly-unified species-wide advancement.

=== Cluster'''_'''Code ===

=== Cluster'''_'''Code ===

Cluster-Code originates from a [[Machina Classes|Queen-class Machina]] and contains the programming that enforces her authority over the M2-Based Life-Form, and also contains her most prominent genetic features. When a Machina ascends to Category 4, she overwrites the Cluster-Code from her former Queen to create her own Cluster-Code within her M2 Nanomachines. Humans and machinery that are corrupted by her and become M2-Based Life-Forms will therefore have within themselves M2 Nanomachines that contain her Cluster-Code, which is then passed-on further. The most important features of the Queen will be integrated into her Cluster-Code, which means her Cluster will resemble her in both form and function to some degree which enhances their performance under her leadership. All things that contain a certain Queen's Cluster-Code are under her control, forming a hard system of ownership and command authority. However, it is possible that a second Queen injects her M2 Nanomachines into an M2-Based Life-Form, such as a regular Machina, and takes control of that creature by suppressing the existing Cluster-Code with her own. This is called a [[Cluster-Code Override]].

=== Identity_Code ===

=== Identity_Code ===

Identity-Code is the unique genetic information of the M2-Based Life-Form from which an M2 Nanomachine originated from. It is a constantly-updating reflection of the physical qualities of the creature. In the context of a Machina, when a human is corrupted into a Machina the M2 Nanomachines involved will interpret the genes, knowledge, personality, and cultivated skills of the person, and from this they will create a unique Machina whose information will be stored in their Identity-Code. Subsequent adaptations and assimilation of genes from other sources will update the Identity-Code of the Machina. When Machina share their fluids, and thus their Gene-Code, with other Machina, they will therefore give an up-to-date genome of their body to the recipient Machina, who will assimilate the most prominent and useful genes from the donor. When a Queen closely coordinates the sharing of Identity-Code between Machina whose characteristics she wants to combine, she can create a new [[Machina Types|Type]] of Machina. By doing this, the Queen can make several Machina, each possessing a useful trait, into identical Machina each possessing all the desirable traits simultaneously.
