response to patternsinchaos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Khb0mtQW300 http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?search=machine&searchmode=none "Machine" refers more to the structure of a device designed to do some mechanical work. Its motion could be called locomotion. An organism is not designed, but is self-created by way of co-emergence with its environment over billions of years. Its motion might best be termed telemotion. Machines take on only the purposes of their designers, while organisms devise their own.
