It should be noted that the are a lot more things other than the genome and connectome. There's countless epigenetic factors, the extended phenotype, and there's some evidence that inheritance can occur through the proteome through prions (the helpful kind) - at least in yeast.

I'm fairly sure this is just scratching the surface of all the ways that "codes" and initial conditions define you.
