= Von Neumann universal constructor
{wiki=Von_Neumann_universal_constructor}
The Von Neumann Universal Constructor is a theoretical concept proposed by mathematician and computer scientist John von Neumann in the context of cellular automata and self-replicating systems. It refers to a hypothetical machine or system that can create copies of itself given the right resources and environment. In the original context, von Neumann was exploring how self-replicating organisms might function and how this could be modeled mathematically.
