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.
