definition,
A Cogitator is the most commonly used name in
Low Gothic and
Latin for any type of digital
computer.
The term is usually found in the Warhammer
40,000 Universe within the Imperium of Man.-
Cogitators vary in size and function, from the gigantic data-looms of the Adeptus Administratum which help process all the bureaucratic data required to run the Imperium, to the slim microprocessors used in the brains of the Adeptus Mechanicus' Tech-priests and the more advanced types of Servitors.
All Cogitators are believed by the Adepts of the Mechanicus to have an animating Machine Spirit, though true Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) is not allowed to develop within any Cogitator, as A.I. or "Abominable Intelligence" as it is known to the servants of the Machine God, has been a religiously forbidden form of technology to Mankind since before the end of the Age of Strife.
