<<<Machine>>> refers to hardware capable of running the Simorg Engine. Current versions of the Simorg Engine are available only for certain operating systems.

In Simorg’s architecture, a Machine is also an implicit Shell that may have Inputs and Outputs.
Using this pattern, Machines can be instantiated via the Instantiate operator and addressed by their codename.

Machines are divided into three categories:

- <<<Desktop>>>  
- <<<Mobile>>>  
- <<<Server>>>
