wired-in
Built into circuitry
Wired-in describes something built into a system at a fundamental level, not added later or easily removed.
A wired-in connection is physically permanent, unlike a plug-in.
The term extends to traits or behaviors that seem innate: Humans have a wired-in preference for faces.
In workplace slang, being wired-in means deeply focused, not to be interrupted: She's wired-in on that project—come back later.
