-Genetic Architecture is the structure of a species [[Genetic Material]] whether that is DNA broken into chromosomes or some other structure. Compatible species have a similar sub-architecture, while non-compatible species have a different sub-architecture. Sub-architectures are generally determined by the compatibility of genomes and number of structure groups (e.g. Chromosomes).
+'''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'''.
+== Sub-Architectures ==
+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 ''mechanism of recombination'' (e.g. *meiosis* vs. *seliquad binding*)
+* The presence or absence of ''metaphysical constraints''
+=== Terran vs. Volamin Systems ===
+* 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.
+== The Volamin Genetic Architecture ==
+Species that descend from or belong to the '''Volamin sub-architecture''' use a unique metaphysical-heritable system:
+* Each individual has ''16 Seliotypes'', each composed of ''4 Seliquads''
+* [[Selinecto|Selinectos]] control compatibility—only matching seliquads bind
+* Hybridization is only possible for ''line-blended individuals'' (non-purebloods)
+This system allows intricate trait expression, including:
+* ''Dual eye or hair color''
+* [[Dermachrome]]-based pigmentation patterning
+* Quarter-based ''species inheritance'', e.g.:
+** ½ [[High Valorèin]] + ½ [[Modern Valorèin]] (''Old Valorèin'')
+** ¼ [[Têran]], ¾ [[Zekarin]]
+== Trait and Hybrid Expression ==
+[[Seliquads]] determine trait inheritance via ''dominant'' and ''recessive'' ends, and express only when bound with compatible counterparts. Trait complexity is a function of:
+* Lineage compatibility
+* Seliquad arrangement and binding type
+* [[Selinecto]] resonance patterns
+Outcomes include:
+* Single-tone vs. layered [[Dermachrome]] skin effects
+* Spirit-bound traits such as ''psionic harmonics'' or ''memory inheritance''
+* Predictable hybridization only within the same genetic architecture
+== Notable Volamin Species ==
+The following species share the '''Volamin Genetic Architecture''':
+* [[Valorèin]] (All Variants)
+* [[High Valorèin]]
+* [[Modern Valorèin]]
+* [[Old Valorèin]]
+* [[Zekarin]]
+* [[Kwin'harin]]
+* [[Zhedarin]]
+* [[Hendarin]]
+* [[Tenzolèin]]
+* [[Têran]]
+* [[Lûdokrèin]]
+* [[Vâthèin]]
+* [[Tekarin]]
+* [[Zekorèin]]
+== Confusions and Distinctions ==
+The term '''Volamin''' may refer to either:
+* The '''Volamin Genetic Architecture''' — a biological/metaphysical classification
+* The [[Volamin (Spirit Tribe)]] — a spiritual lineage not always biologically linked
+While often overlapping, they are not synonymous. Some individuals carry the Volamin architecture but belong to a different spiritual tribe, and vice versa.
