This article is a stub. It needs to be expanded.
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.

Why and for what use the term "zone" in the context of gem-gum factories

There is a basic repeating pattern of interspersed assembly and transport but some processing steps are quite specific to specific assembly levels.


  • Sub-steps of assembly levels shall here on this wiki be referred to as "zones" – especially if specific to only a certain assembly level
  • Specific quite homogeneous most low level areas of other subsystems of gem-gum factories may also be called zones (eventually).

If there is an instance for a zone repeating in someway similar fashion over more than one assembly level
then calling it a level rather than a zone may be preferable.
E.g. routing level rather than "routing zone"
