The Machine

The most conventional conception of the Machine consists of technological advancement, the product of innovation, or a physical commodity. However, this understanding is limiting and overlooks the integral factors and facets that constitute the Machine as a concept. In reality, the intellectual processes that facilitate creation, the creation itself, and the subsequent impact of that creation are all part of the Machine. This notion is termed the machinic assemblage and entails the structures that guide and influence social interaction and intellectual activity, the product of the aforementioned facet, the impacts of the product, and the interaction of all three components simultaneously. The Machine is a concept that exists in an abstract, physical and contextual sense. It is the notion of human-machinic interaction, the ontological product of human innovation, and its identity is a function of its contextual use.
