I really don't follow. Define programming in your context? Is it distinct from encoding physical structures like wings? Is it meaningful to separate physical structures and structures invoking physical behavior?

A column of rock erodes, and a piece falls. The piece did not learn to fall. It just _did_, subject to the rules that governed the process of its creation (different meaning) and its environment.

Specifically birds know how to fly or swim without being taught. Having raised birds that haven't seen or known another bird they just "do". They don't practice. It's like they are just waiting. Same with the language. They can understand like kind. When introduced to their own kind they aren't afraid but reunited.
