Definition taken from Wikipedia:
Programmable matter is matter which has the ability to change its physical properties (shape, density, moduli, conductivity, optical properties, etc.) in a programmable fashion, based upon user input or autonomous sensing. Programmable matter is thus linked to the concept of a material which inherently has the ability to perform information processing.
Delineation to other concepts
- Digital matter - super advanced programmable (meta)materials that feature deep digital control over matter
- materializable programs - the thinking and computing is deeply and locally ingrained in the matter too - think physical cellular automata
