reprogramming
Rewriting the instructions
Reprogramming is changing the instructions that control something's behavior.
Computers are reprogrammed when their software is rewritten.
The term extends to any systematic alteration of conditioning or habits: The cult reprogrammed its members, I'm trying to reprogram myself to wake up earlier.
In biology, cellular reprogramming converts specialized cells back to a stem-cell-like state.
