Lingua Automata

Overview

The title "Lingua Automata" is a rough Latin translation of "language of the automata" or "the tongue of the machine". "Automata" denotes machinic devices able to act of their own will, self-propelled yet still obeying a predetermined concatenation of courses. If "Machinima", the portmanteau of "machine" and "cinema", is used to describe a strand of virtual puppetry performed by humans, then "lingua automata" could be the vernacular through which only machine-to-machine, automaton-to-automaton communication is conducted in a closed loop.
