Are you attempting to state here that the abstract concept that you
are defining as a "machine" is the same thing as what I am defining as
"complex adaptive system"?

If not, what do you see as being different, when comparing "complex
adaptive system" as an abstract concept, and "machine" as abstract
concept?
