During the birthing cycle, baby robots copy certain information from the memory of the parent. Copying is done through the Birth Tie . The copied locations are 971 through 990 and one location is copied each cycle for 20 cycles. Robots who cut their gestation periods short will miss out on the valuable opportunity to pass on vital information to their offspring.

One advanced use of racial memory is to keep track of the number of cycles that have passed in the sim up to 32000. This is done by intially increasing 971 by 1 on the first cycle then incrementing it by 1 for every cycle that it is not equal to zero.

Example:

'gene1 sets 971 to 1 on the first cycle then deletes gene1
cond
start
971 inc
.delgene inc
stop
'when 971 is passed into child counter will begin keeping track of cycle number
cond
start
971 *971 dup div mult inc
stop
