hardwires
Builds in permanently
Hardwires means to build something directly into a system's basic structure, making it permanent rather than adjustable.
Originally from electronics—circuits that are hardwired have fixed connections rather than programmable ones.
The figurative sense dominates: Evolution hardwires certain fears into us.
Something hardwired is fundamental and difficult to change: The response seems hardwired into human nature.
