What is Automatism:
1748, first used by Eng. physician and philosopher David Hartley (1705-57) in ref. to involuntary animal or human actions, from Gk. automatos "self-acting," from autos- "self" (comb. form) + matos "thinking, animated." Sense of "self-acting, having power of motion" is from 1812; especially of machinery, which simulates human action from 1940.
1. self-thinking, self-acting; System of subsystems, in which coordination is simplified in order to system being more productive or to function at all (as washing machine for example).
2. Being a machine.
3. Immediate answer coming from some existing code of behavior.
4. Way of dealing with things in an automatic mode.
What is Autonomy:
1623, from Gk. autonomia, noun of quality from autonomos "independent, living by one's own laws," from auto- "self" (comb. form) + nomos "custom, law" (see numismatics).Autonomous is recorded from 1800
1. Self-organizing inside the existing system;
2. System of subsystems cooperating separately and without coordination.
(that is description from myself and Dictionary and Thesaurus, New Oxford American Dictionary, 2nd Edition, Oxford American Writers Thesaurus, Copyright © 2005 Apple Computer, Inc.,)
I think what is interesting about this definition point of view: they are both almost like a similar systems, but with total different, how to say, governing system. Automatic system is set of smaller units governed from outside (by brain:) and interacting between each other functionally in order to work in most productive way, and autonomic system is a set of smaller units that are each on their own and having separate own functions and interacting between each other in self-governing mode, so how I thin: not limited by the necessity of certain outcome, or by the way how to approach it.
