Can a hardware and software metaphor explain it?
What is physically happening in our brain and body?

An instinct is a natural reaction for certain stimuli.
Usually already built in the genetic code of a creature.
An example of that would be the fight or flight response, or when you instantly move your hand when you touch something hot, dogs shaking themselves after getting wet, or sea turtles moving towards the moonlight after they hatch.
In a software I’d say an instinct would be any response to a specific action, like opening a window after double clicking or typing whatever letter you pressed on your keyboard.
I don’t know if the hardware and software analogy was the best but that’s what I had in mind basically.
