Definition

The process by which one's network of technosocial engagements and identity produces work or material that becomes well-known in a network. Also, a machine set in motion for producing notoriety and fame.

"The Recognition Amplifier (Famous Machine)[1]. A machine capable of increasing the fame of of a human being placed inside it. Research abandoned due to physical danger"[2].

Digital World

Behind every famous machine is a switching machine. More efficient machines get others to switch for them. Is a switching machine equal to a famous machine?
