Contents
Scales
As a computing analogy one can think of these a bit like computer memory caches L3 L2 L1 (and CPU registers)
- intercontinental
- international
- inter-regional
- inter-city (local)
- inter-neighborhood
- inter-livingspace
Value & protection
Bigger ones represent a high concentration of value in cintents and infrastructure
and thus would likely be burried deeply underground. Unlike the one here for iullustration ourposes only.
inter living space ones would likely be integrated right into the end user devices.
Not enough value to afford special protection beyond the usual.
See: Keysholes for microcomponent disassembly.
Storage of parts of other sizes
Microcomponents are typically imperceptibly small for humans (about birch pollen scale)
but also very large from the perspective of the atomic scale.
Some parts of vastly different sizes might get stores too.
- Storage of resource molecules. But likely in some microcomponent managed way. Think magazines. Result of some pre-mining for e.g. titanium.
- Storage of larger parts. Very much like tube mail. Could even house some non AP things like wood-carvings or whatever.
Outer space & spacetravel
In outer space like during spacetravel or on small bodies in the asteroid belt
Producing locally from atomic feedstock may often be faster than waiting for long range delivery.
Heck even data takes a while if it needs debivery via space laser communication.
Planet Ceres is gargantuan for a belt celestial object.
So she can have her own Global microcomponent redistribution system.
