*Epigenetic source, provided by [[phenotype]], delivers developmental information to the same developing individual. The developmental information provides an individual with a feedback - based on interactions between developing structures or interactions of organism with surrounding environment, called in theory as epigenetic processes. Owing to this feedback, the program (alias "Sofware") can canalize the course of ontogenesis in such way that the overall process results in creation of vital individual. The significant implication of the feedback principle is that all modifications of organs or any developmental trends can be understood within the scope of feedback actions already present in organism itself, what further implies that environmental conditions cannot directly introduce the information into the [[genome]]. | *Epigenetic source, provided by [[phenotype]], delivers developmental information to the same developing individual.
