This article defines a novel term (that is hopefully sensibly chosen). The term is introduced to make a concept more concrete and understand its interrelationship with other topics related to atomically precise manufacturing. For details go to the page: Neologism.

"Copyfication" for "immobile replication" or "immobile self-replication".

Analogy breakdown to the fire triangle -- runaway accidents no longer possible

Unlike the reproduction hexagon and the replication pentagon this is no longer an analogy to the fire triangle
where when all sides are fulfilled it leads to a runaway chain reaction.
Without mobility copies pile up and congest further copying. See below.
Plus without active plug-in to the required resources by an external actor
not even a second generation of copies can operate by themselves itself.

The four sides of the immobile self-replication square

There are four necessary requirements on selfreplicativity for a gemstone metamaterial on-chip factory.

Needed are:

  • replication capability
  • building block availability
  • energy supply
  • blueprint data mobility (a mere digital access to a central copy is sufficient, some redundancy is advisable though for resiliency)

Not needed are:

  • replicator mobility -- needed for the (outdated) molecular assembler concept
  • sufficient adaptivity -- needed only by biological life

Intuitive image of pileup and congestion

Just like on a photocopier on the output side products pile up, and if they are not removed
manually then the clog prevents any further copying process.
Pileups could be quite bad though if congestions are not detected.
Remotely related topic: Breach of a global microcomponent redistribution system.

In contrast replicators (replication pentagon applies) move actively out of the way (arbitrarily far)
to make space for an arbitrary amount of further replications.

Blueprint data mobility

A note on "blueprint data mobility":
The biological example of DNA with a full nanomechanically encoded datastorage copy in
every single cell is ridiculously inefficient and nothing we would want to mimic in artificial systems for manufacturing.
