Automatic: see also Automated, Automation

This page actually came about for technical reasons. It turns out that somewhere along the line someone got an idea that it might be better to spew out every combination of words that might mean approximately what you want to write than to wait for the search engines to get around to taking synonyms and related terms and such into account when figuring out "relevance".

But wait, no, automatic was already known in advance to be a problem word, I remember now. It compounds the confusion with vehicles that happen to be equipped with automatic transmissions. Auto Knotwork itself came into existence because a nexus was suspected somewhere in this semantic neighborhood, a nexus complicating the problem of designing constructing and implementing automatic measures of "relevance".

Heck come to think of it there is something known as "automatic writing" in the fields of psychism and occultism and such. The difference between automatic and not automatic might be, or be akin to, the difference between unconscious and conscious ...or, dare we speculate, between dead and alive!
