In the context of an era where reality is permeated by machines, this work addresses the subject matter of machines from the standpoint of what are physical, semiotic and ontological machines. Such concepts of machine will be presented in chapters entirely dedicated to each one of these perspectives. The goal is to produce confrontations between these machine conceptions, applying them to the analysis of the computer as an object and to extract the continuities and discontinuities existing in this debate, in order to operationalize these understandings in the conclusion. Therefore, the start point is the research hypothesis that there are continuities and discontinuities in these discussions. The methodology employed is a deductive one, where the track followed is the detailed description of the concepts and ideas proposed, supported by authors who are recognized experts in the subject matter. As a result, the present work achieves a broader understanding of what are machines, both in depth and extension, beyond the usual principles found in the discussions of the physical machines
