In [[evolutionary biology]], the term ''autoconstructive'' refers to a property of real biological systems: namely that the organisms undergoing evolutionary change are themselves responsible for the construction of their own offspring and thus for aspects of the evolutionary process itself. All true [[biological]] systems are autoconstructive, so this term mainly comes up in [[evolutionary computation]] to distinguish [[artificial life]] type systems from conventional [[genetic algorithms]] where the GA performs replication "artificially."
