According to an academic thesis: "The so-called 'replicators' can reconstitute matter and produce everything that is needed out of pure energy, no matter whether food, medicaments, or spare parts are required." [3] A replicator can create any inanimate matter, as long as the desired molecular structure is on file, but it cannot create antimatter, dilithium, latinum, and (in the case of at least federation replicators) living things of any kind; for the last case, non-canon works such as the Star Trek: the Next Generation Technical Manual state that, though the replicators share the same technology with transporters, the resolution used is too low to create living tissue. However, other replicators, such as the ones used by the aliens in the TNG episode "Allegiance," could create living things, including the brain's many trillions of dendritic connections where memory is stored.

It’s how they orchestrate, how they organize themselves, how they use the tactics that the unmanned systems enable, how they employ those tactics in the field, how they basically sequence their operations,” Clark said. “So, it’s a lot of the kind of operational art that they’re bringing to bear that’s actually yielding success, rather than just throwing a bunch of mass at the wall and hoping that the Russians get overwhelmed. I think the lesson there is we got to figure out ways to enable our unmanned systems to be employed in a very flexible way that tactical operators can then adjust in the field.” Romulan replicators left distinctive patterns in the molecular structure of items they produced. ( TNG: " The Mind's Eye") Much of the design study was concerned with a simple, flexible chemical system for processing lunar regolith, and the differences between the ratio of elements needed by the replicator, and the ratios available in regolith. The limiting element was Chlorine, an essential element to process regolith for Aluminium. Chlorine is very rare in lunar regolith, and a substantially faster rate of reproduction could be assured by importing modest amounts.

Clanking replicator, an artificial self-replicating system that relies on conventional large-scale technology and automation Clark said that Replicator should pursue adaptability and not focus on mass. The Defense Department should try to reduce its predictability and this initiative is one way to do that. Specifically, Replicator should focus on operational innovation and improve the way it does analysis, he said For an image that does not show how this replicates, see: Eric W. Weisstein. "Sphinx."

In computer science a quine is a self-reproducing computer program that, when executed, outputs its own code. For example, a quine in the Python programming language is: Greenwalt said the initiative should focus on “three things: money, production lines at full capacity and how to deliver these.” WIPO.

These can be an important guide to avoid design difficulties in self-replicating machinery.

In 1802 William Paley formulated the first known teleological argument depicting machines producing other machines, [13] suggesting that the question of who originally made a watch was rendered moot if it were demonstrated that the watch was able to manufacture a copy of itself. [14] Scientific study of self-reproducing machines was anticipated by John Bernal as early as 1929 [15] and by mathematicians such as Stephen Kleene who began developing recursion theory in the 1930s. [16] Much of this latter work was motivated by interest in information processing and algorithms rather than physical implementation of such a system, however. In the course of the 1950s, suggestions of several increasingly simple mechanical systems capable of self-reproduction were made — notably by Lionel Penrose.
