The ability of a system or organism to maintain stability and balance by adjusting its own processes without external control or input.
From 'auto-' (self) and 'regulation' (the act of controlling or maintaining standards). This term emerged in 20th-century physiology to describe how bodies maintain equilibrium, and expanded to engineering and economics.
Your body is constantly autoregulating—when you get too hot, you sweat; when you're cold, you shiver—your body fixes itself without your brain having to think about it, and this same principle is used in AI systems and ecosystems.
