Tulpae and genetic memory.

So, I'm not sure if this belongs in Metaphysics or in Questions or here.

Anyway, what I was thinking about is genetic memory and tulpae, what if your ancestors could access the memory of your tulpa?If your kid made a tulpa and made it access the memory of your tulpa?Would it be possible, and would the personality and form remain unchanged?

I kind of doubt the idea of your tulpa would be one of the memories stored. From what I've heard, it tends to be more a location or something, rather than everything that's associated with a certain concept.

 

There are multiple theories as to just how much memory is stored genetically, since it hasn't been proven.

Although I personally believe that not very much genetic memory is stored, at all. Which, if that's true, basically no, your child would not have that memory.

Some believe that almost all memories from your ancestors are stored (which I believe is a little ridiculous), which, if that were the case, then it would be theoretically possible.

I don't think you understand what genetic memory really means. It's not regular memories. It's more like humans' inclination to be afraid of snakes and spiders more than other animals. If your ancestors continually had to fight off a certain thing for thousands of years, the ones who survive and reproduce are those who are more genetically inclined to fear and avoid those things. This is just the most obvious and easily explainable example, but you get the idea.
