intrinsics
Built-in fundamental qualities
Intrinsics are the built-in, fundamental operations or functions native to a system.
In computing, intrinsics are low-level functions that a compiler recognizes and replaces with optimized machine code rather than standard function calls: The programmer used SIMD intrinsics to speed up image processing.
In philosophy and psychology, intrinsics refers to properties belonging to something by its very nature, independent of external factors.
