This is an old revision of this page, as edited by David Eppstein (talk | contribs) at 00:28, 20 April 2007 (Turn into dab page. All useful content is already in the Von Neumann page but I think both pages should be linked rather than just doing a redirect.). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

A universal constructor may refer to

  • Universal assembler, a hypothesized nanotechnology device for building a large class of nanomachines including itself, or
  • Von Neumann Universal Constructor, a mathematical abstraction of a universal assembler described by John Von Neumann using cellular automata.
