In an operating system context, a daemon is something that continually does the same thing regardless of context and without input until it is killed or the system is no longer running. This is both substantively similar to the correct doctrine of karma and a better intuition pump about what a demon is. That it has the Greek spelling is not accidental either. A daemon in a contained context can be non malicious but represents the union of harms in inability to change, inability to communicate, and continuous impact on the environment.
