'''Genetic Architecture''' refers to the structural organization and transmission method of heritable material across sentient and non-sentient species. In biological species, this typically refers to *chromosomes*, *alleles*, and *gene regulation systems*. In metaphysically-active species such as those descended from the [[Volamin (Genetic Architecture)]], genetic architecture includes complex systems like [[Seliotype|Seliotypes]], which are spirit-bound information matrices.

Understanding a species’ genetic architecture is essential for analyzing '''reproductive compatibility''', '''hybrid viability''', '''trait expression''', and '''biocultural divergence'''.

Species with compatible reproductive systems often share a '''sub-architecture''', enabling genetic exchange or hybridization. Sub-architectures are determined by:
Species with compatible reproductive systems often share a '''sub-architecture''', enabling genetic exchange or hybridization. Sub-architectures are determined by:
* The ''structure'' of heritable material (e.g. *chromosomes* vs. [[Seliotype|Seliotypes]])
* The ''structure'' of heritable material (e.g. ''chromosomes'' vs. [[Seliotype|Seliotypes]])
* The ''mechanism of recombination'' (e.g. *meiosis* vs. *seliquad binding*)

* Terran systems use ''chromosomes'' divided during ''meiosis''; half are contributed from each parent.
* Volamin-descended species use [[Seliotype|Seliotypes]], each of which is divided into four [[Seliquad|Seliquads]], with two passed on from each parent.
