[JJ_SO]

Since when can image auto-correction be called a "mechanism"? There are moving parts involved, just some geometrical transformations of pictures.

There's an entry in wikipedia about a software related meaning, but it's empty. And in Wiktionary is also no software related meaning (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/mechanism)

Ah, I see - the gameboys programming the algorithms to make poorly corrected lenses shine were running short of terms.
