Artificial Entity

An Artificial Entity is an entity that is an artificial system (designed to fulfill specified purposes through engineered processes).

AKA: Synthetic Entity, Person-Made Entity, Engineered Entity.
Context:
- It can (typically) have Designed Structures for intended functions.
- It can (typically) follow Engineered Processes for task execution.
- It can (typically) implement Control Systems for behavior regulation.
- It can (typically) maintain Operational States through system processes.
- ...
- It can (often) utilize Resource Management for system operation.
- It can (often) perform Self-Monitoring of system states.
- It can (often) execute Programmed Responses to environmental inputs.
- It can (often) support System Interfaces for external interaction.
- ...
- It can range from being a Physical Artificial Entity to being a Virtual Artificial Entity, depending on its implementation domain.
- It can range from being a Simple Artificial Entity to being a Complex Artificial Entity, depending on its system sophistication.
- It can range from being a Specialized Artificial Entity to being a General Artificial Entity, depending on its functional scope.
- It can range from being a Standalone Artificial Entity to being a Connected Artificial Entity, depending on its integration level.
- It can range from being a Fixed Artificial Entity to being a Mobile Artificial Entity, depending on its deployment type.
- It can range from being a Passive Artificial Entity to being an Active Artificial Entity, depending on its autonomy level.
- It can range from being a Deterministic Artificial Entity to being an Adaptive Artificial Entity, depending on its behavioral flexibility.
- ...
- It can implement System Configuration for operational setup.
- It can perform State Maintenance through monitoring processes.
- It can execute Functional Operations within design parameters.
- It can support External Communication through interface protocols.
- It can maintain System Integrity via protection mechanisms.
