Automation is the broad concept of assigning direction or goals to a game area (e.g. NPCs, units, rulers), so that they continue to perform appropriate action without intervention by the player.
A destructible environment means the player has the ability to destroy his/her surroundings. This allows players to use the environment to their advantage.
First Person Editing occurs when a player can edit the world geometry from a first-person point of view. A game which features First Person Editing as a core mechanic could be termed a First Person Editor, or FPE. Earliest examples of FPEs are Avoyd and Cube, followed by Infiniminer, Minecraft and many voxel games. The world editing properties should extend to the entire game environment, and optionally to avatars. A good test to identify an FPE is if players can write in-game by carving or building.
The word "voxel" is a portmanteau of "volumetric" and "pixel" (which in turn is a portmanteau of "picture" and "element"). Essentially a three-dimensional cube, they are used to build objects in a virtual space, especially terrain.
