so that all must be performed either by mechanism or
accident. --Bentley.

mechanism of action
(gcide) | mechanism of action \mech"an*ism of ac"tion\, n. (Medicine,
Biochemistry)
The mechanism[2] by which a pharmacologically active
substance produces an effect on a living organism or in a
biochemical system; as, the mechanism of action of
actinomycin involves its binding to DNA. The mechanism of
action is usually considered to include an identification of
the specific molecular targets to which a pharmacologically
active substance binds or whose biochemical action it
influences; a general recognition of the broad biochemical
pathways (such as DNA synthesis, protein synthesis,
cholesterol synthesis) which are inhibited or affected by a
substance is termed its mode of action.

Telemechanism
(gcide) | Telemechanic \Tel`e*me*chan"ic\, a. [Gr. th^le far + mechanic.]

Syn: Cars.
Usage: Train, Cars. At one time "train" meaning railroad
train was also referred to in the U. S. by the phrase
"the cars". In the 1913 dictionary the usage was
described thus: "Train is the word universally used in
England with reference to railroad traveling; as, I
came in the morning train. In the United States, the
phrase the cars has been extensively introduced in the
room of train; as, the cars are late; I came in the
cars. The English expression is obviously more
appropriate, and is prevailing more and more among
Americans, to the exclusion of the cars."
