replicator: n. Any construct that acts to produce copies of itself; this could be a
living organism, an idea (see meme), a program (see
quine, worm,
wabbit, fork bomb, and
virus), a pattern in a cellular automaton (see
life, sense 1), or (speculatively) a robot or
nanobot. It is even claimed by some that
Unix and C are the symbiotic
halves of an extremely successful replicator; see
Unix conspiracy.
