The human ambition to reproduce natural objects and processes, himself included, has a long history, and ranges from pure dreams to actual design. The concept of naturoid can be useful for referring to man’s reproductions of natural phenomena and to the general rules that govern this effort in any technological field. This paper tries to show that a naturoid is always the result of a reduction of the complexity of a natural object, due to an unavoidable multiple selection strategy and to constraints outlined in nuce in the Turing Test.

Keywords: Technology, artificial, model, reproduction, naturoids, Turing Test.
