#automation process
- Autonomization — The act of autonomizing and its result; a structural process through which an entity, a technical system, or a social group acquires functional and decision-making independence. In the modern corporate context, it defines the delegation of power to employees or departments (empowerment), allowing them to manage projects without redundant hierarchical approvals, boosting innovation and efficiency.
- Self-programming — The act of self-programming and its result; a structural process through which a cybernetic system, software algorithm, or neural network autonomously generates, extends, or modifies its source code and internal instructions based on input data and past experiences, without human intervention. In psychology, it defines a mental mechanism of conscious self-suggestion whereby an individual implements rigid goals, behavioral patterns, or specific beliefs to shape future emotional reactions.
- Self-propulsion — The act of self-propelling and its result; a technical or mechanical process through which a vehicle, projectile, or body generates its force of motion and spatial displacement utilizing an internal energy source or its own engine, without the input of an external pulling or pushing force. This structural system is fundamental in the design of rockets, spacecraft, submarines, and heavy self-propelled machinery, optimizing the operational independence of the assembly.
- Self-protection — The act of self-protecting and its result; a structural, behavioral, or technical process through which an individual, group, or system activates its own resources to prevent degradation, injury, or compromise faced with external risk factors. In stress management, it defines adopting healthy habits to conserve mental energy, whereas in software engineering it represents automated algorithmic resilience capacity.
