Automaton


Definition:

  • (v. i.) Any thing or being regarded as having the power of spontaneous motion or action.

  • (3) According to this model, the living cell is a self-moving, self-thinking and self-reproducing machine (automaton) that receives information and energy from its environment, processes them according to the genetic programs stored in DNA, and generates output signals to environment in order to realize teleonomically designed functions.
