preceeding: tooltip preparation zone

Akin to processor cores defigned by the local envirounments of arithmetic logic units the cores of APM systems can be considered to be the local environments of the places where mechanosynthesis is actually executed.

General purpouse cores

General purpouse cores are robotic manipulators that either get tooltips delivered in a stream from or pick them up use them and put them down subsequently. With a few exceptions [todo explain them] they are very voluminous and slow compared to mill cores. They have the advantage that six degrees of freedom are easier to implement. Random access to different tool-types is not exclusive to general purpouse cores. I might be doable with mills just fine.

The zone where tool-tip preparation is done can clearly be separated. There the carriages holding the tools might be transported through channels on rails or on rolls like more like in a mills core.
