I will be jotting down key words that I will be using throughout my argument and their associated definitions as I will use them

Module vs Component

Module: A standardized, often interchangeable component of a system or construction that is designed for easy assembly or flexible use: a sofa consisting of two end modules. (The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 4th Edition)
A self-contained component of a system, often interchangeable, which has a well-defined interface to the other components.(Wiktionary)

Component: A smaller, self-contained part of a larger entity. Often refers to a manufactured object that is part of a larger device.(Wiktionary)

So a module is always component, but a component is not always a module.

Adaptive Manufacture: the very manipulation of material becomes a means by which response is generated, modified and, ultimately, understood.(Calliot 68)

Computation: the processing of information(Menges 16)

Morphogenesis: (from the Greek morphê shape and genesis creation, literally, “beginning of the shape”) is the biological process that causes an organism to develop its shape.(wikipedia)
Digital Morphogenesis: refers to various processes of form generation resulting in shapes that remain elusive to material and construction logics.(Menges 199)
Computational Morphogenesis: encodes logic, structure and behaviour, as well as the underlying principles of natural morphogenesis.(Menges 199)
Natural Morphogenesis: the process of growth and evolutionary development, generates systems that derive complex articulation, specific gestalt and performative capacity through the interaction of system-intrinsic material characteristics, as well as external stimuli of environmental forces and influences.(Menges 199)

Descriptive Complexity: a printout of the program code together with a table of all parameter sets needs less paper than all the workshop drawings.(Schuerer 91)
Kolmogorov-Complexity: the shortest description of the object in a given language.(Schuerer 93)
Mass Customisation: the production of individual components at almost the price of mass production through the use of digitally controlled (CNC) fabrication tools.(Schuerer 91)
