Instinct is hardcoded response of hardware, so it can react faster without control softwar needing to analyze and issue command

Like pain receptors in hand the muscles react without command to take away hand from source of pain

Or you can think of it as localised control, same exqmple with pain a muscles

It is an evolved response
